The Literary Context of Geoffrey of Monmouth: An Essay on the Fabrication of Sources

Abstract

Geoffrey of Monmouth's various dedications of the HRB and his remarks at the end of the book issued from literary rivalry with William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntington, and Caradog of Llancarfan. Geoffrey's appeal to a secret source became a model for subsequent authors and translators.
