It will provide a firm textual basis for the next generation of scholarly research on Geoffrey of Monmouth and on twelfth-century historiography." "This is a handsome volume and a major contribution to twelfth-century British studies. "This new critical edition is a major advance in scholarship and will undoubtedly become the standard text for the foreseeable future." Fresh and engaging, and can be enjoyed purely as mythical history." "A fabulous British history - giants and all - deserves its former bestseller status. It is wonderful to have a reliable Latin edition and translation of this important work priced for the library of the individual scholar and student." Neil Wright's translation is graceful and precise. "This fine edition will serve to make Geoffrey's Latin much more accessible and no doubt spur further research. "This is surely going to be the all-purpose and long-awaited standard critical edition which all medievalists will need to read and cite when dealing with what is one of the foundational texts of the Latin Middle Ages."
