Tolhurst, Fiona.

Geoffrey of Monmouth and the translation of female kingship[electronic resource] /by Fiona Tolhurst. - Basingstoke :Palgrave Macmillan,2013. - 1 online resource. - Arthurian and courtly cultures. - Studies in Arthurian and courtly cultures..

Introduction Geoffrey of Monmouth and the Translation of Female Kingship -- Re-reading Empress Matilda as a Female King -- Geoffrey's History as Preparation for a Female King -- Undermining and Degrading Female Kingship in the First Variant and the Roman de Brut -- Delegitimizing and Erasing Female Kingship in the 'Epistola Warino Britoni,' the Chronica majora, and Layamon's Brut.

"Geoffrey of Monmouth and the Translation of Female King" provides the first feminist analysis of the part of "The History of the Kings of Britain" that most readers overlook: the reigns before and after Arthur's. Fiona Tolhurst demonstrates that Geoffrey not only creates precedents for the future reign of Empress Matilda in England but also presents female rule as an attractive and beneficial alternative to male immorality and incompetence. Her study adds a new dimension to contemporary scholarship by proposing that the word 'feminist'; can be used to describe this history that - in contrast to the works of Geoffrey's predecessors, redactors, and early translators - presents female rule positively.
