Title: Historical background of the book, from the text itself
Review: It is a combination of two singular manuscripts. There are two poetic variations: alliterative and stanzaic. The first manuscript (alliterative) is known as the "Thornton Manuscript," which is found in the Lincoln Cathedral in York, England. This manuscript draws on various works, including Monmouth's "History of the Kings of Britain. The second stanzaic version is simply known as MS Harleian 2252. According to the book, this version takes from a piece of French prose "Mort Artu".The poems are very descriptive. The first poem pays attention to every historic detail. The second poem is more romantic than anything else. I would definitely suggest putting it in your King Arthur book collection.
