Description:Predating Malory's Morte d'Arthur, this anonymous text is regarded as "the earliest piece of Arthurian literature written in English Prose." It combines elements of the French Vulgate cycle translated into Middle English, constructing a narrative from a single-stranded narration of the origin and rise of Arthur, originating from an early-medieval Robert de Boron text (and, in this version, roughly six times the length of the corresponding narrative within Morte d'Arthur), and continuing with a multi-stranded, interlacing "sequel" narrative.From the publisher's description:With its contextualizing introduction, notes, and gloss, this edition makes the Prose Merlin available to any student of Arthurian legend, no matter their level of proficiency in Middle English. Written in the latter half of the fifteenth century, the Prose Merlin is the first work of Arthurian literature written in English prose. The highly original poem, though based upon the French Vulgate cycle tradition of Arthurian legends, is full of episodes, motifs, and characters found nowhere else in the entire Arthurian corpus. Beginning with the story surrounding Merlin's birth, and charting the course of his fantastical life until his ambiguous death, Prose Merlin is an enchanting text for any class studying Arthuriana.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
