Excerpt from The Arthurian Epic: A Comparative Study of the Cambrian, Breton, and Anglo-Norman Versions of the Story and Tennyson's Idylls of the King

The true character and aim of the Arthurian cyclus of romances has been so thoroughly misunderstood, not only by the popular mind, but by many who, otherwise, are well informed, that I shall consider my time and labour well expended, if I can aid in dispelling the popular misconception and, in even the slightest degree, help in restoring this national epic to its rightful place in the esteem of intelligent men.

In the composition of this work, I have made free use of the materials that already existed although, in every case, where it has been necessary to do so, I have verified statements of fact, and have, at times, departed widely from the conclusions adopted by others.

Excerpt from The Arthurian Epic: A Comparative Study of the Cambrian, Breton, and Anglo-Norman Versions of the Story and Tennyson's Idylls of the King

In writing the following work on the Arthurian Epic, my chief object has been to aid lovers of our old English literature, in their investigations of this most interesting corner of romantic fiction.

This cyclus of romances, which has now commanded the attention and won the admiration of seven centuries of readers, has been to me an everfascinating field of study and research; and when, a few years ago, I was asked to deliver a course of lectures, in aid of a charitable object connected with the parish of which I was then rector, I could think of no subject that would be likely to interest a highly intelligent audience, to a greater degree, than this, the noblest religious prose-poem of which England can boast.
