Weston, Romance, Vision, and Satire (Boston and New York, 1912, page 137). ' It follows the earlier form seen hi Geoffrey of Monmouth's His- toria...

Taking his story mainly from the chronicles, this poet disregarded the later versions of the romances. For he had no wish to be romantic. Out of line in his choice of incidents, he is still more out of line in treatment. He tells his Arthur story, not romantically, but epically.
