Episode one; The Prologue to Laȝamon's Brut

December 4, 2018 Liam Guilar

Laȝamon is one of the first English poets to step forward and claim a text as his own. The poem itself is over 16,000 lines. Written after 1155, the ‘prologue’ tells us his name, where he lived, what he did, and why he started writing.

Tags Laȝamon, Brut, Middle English, The matter of Britain
← Rudyard Kipling's 'In the Neolithic age'.

The Fabled Third, the sequel to A Man of Heart and the final part of A Presentment of Englishry, is now available direct from the publisher Shearsman Uk and usual online sources. Signed copies of all three books are available from the shop on this site.
