Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. The influence of Welsh folklore on European literature is explored in this insightful book. The author traces the origins of fictional narratives to ancient oral recounts of events and the perpetuation of cultural mythology within diverse regions. The book highlights a series of similarities observed in early fictional works across various cultures, suggesting a common origin in the experiences and shared human condition. These fictional works, often embellished with elements of fantasy, became particularly popular in the 12th century, with notable examples such as Geoffrey of Monmouth's Chronicle. Through literary analysis, the author demonstrates how early romance writers drew inspiration from Welsh and Armorican traditions, particularly those surrounding King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. These traditions were disseminated through the works of French romance writers, and eventually made their way into English literature and beyond, shaping the development of the genre. The book concludes with a discussion of how the influence of these traditions can still be seen in contemporary literature.
