LAYAMON'S BRUT, OR CHRONICLE OF BRITAIN: a poetical semi-Saxon

v., 1847.
This work is important as the principal literary monument in
the English language of that period.
The poet 'thrummed' three books into one in his work, namely,
Wace's 'Geste des Bretons' (1155), his chief source, Baeda's
work in his own Latin, and Alfred's translation of the
same. The author has the distinction of being the first to
commemorate King Arthur in English verse.

'This little work may be thought by some of a low and trifling
nature: but it is the first of a race of comic romances. For
wit, spirit and inexhaustible resources ... there is nothing
like the Spanish rogue'.
