Book description
According to the authors of this book, in the Vulgate Cycle originally there was a book called The Book of Galehaut. Galehaut was a knight who could have defeated King Arthur, but for the love of Lancelot, surrendered to him instead. He was the enabler for Guinevere and Lancelots love, again because of (and despite) his love for Lancelot. Hes since faded from the story almost entirely, though hes sometimes mentioned with no particular connection to Lancelot. The introduction to this book suggests that thats partially because of the deeply homoerotic subtext of his relationship with Lancelot, and partly because he can be read as Welsh and Malory (for one) was writing at a time of disturbance between the English and the Welsh (what a surprise).I havent read the Vulgate Cycle for myself, or read any secondary sources discussing Galehaut, so I cant speak for the accuracy of their statements. It would make sense, of course, but little errors in the introduction -- its spelt Caerleon, or Caerllion if youre going for the Welsh spelling, not Carleon, unless youre talking about a beach in Cornwall; Geoffrey of Monmouth is now thought to have been unlikely to be Welsh -- make me somewhat dubious about the scholarship. Plus, as a retelling, they might have been extremely choosy about what they took from the original text, and viewed through a modern lens stuff like sharing a bed seems more sexual than it is in medieval texts.Still, its interesting for two reasons: one, this is a part of Arthurian legend that has been neglected, and two, its actually a really good story. They chose to write their retelling in a similar way to direct translations of the texts, so it feels familiar and authentic. They admit to tweaking and rearranging a little, so the final section of the story is a little different to the standard accepted versions, but mostly it fits into the canon reasonably well. Galehauts love for Lancelot is deep and affecting: more so than the love between knights and ladies in romances of the period. Guinevere is mostly sympathetic, too, and the love between her and Lancelot is well-written in places, but the focus is Galehaut and his utter devotion to Lancelot. The ending picks up on something I just read about in a part from the Vulgate Cycle: Lancelot is buried beside Galehaut.There are also a couple of bits that I honestly find quite funny, like this part:Then Galehaut asked Gawain what he would give, if he had his health again, to have the Black Knight [Lancelot:] as his companion. Gawain hesitated, wondering if his wounds would ever heal, and then replied that he would willingly be transformed into a beautiful young woman, if he could have the Black Knights love his whole life long.And you, my lady? Galehaut asked the queen.Now that Gawain has offered all that a lady can give, a lady can do no more!With that, they all laughed, but Galehaut when they demanded that he too answer the question, said that for the love of that knight, I would let my very honour turn to shame.God knows, said Gawain, that you have offered more than any of us. He realised that Galehaut had actually done what he said: at the very moment when he had won the war, he had given his triumph away.The queens response is awesome!This story made me interested in Galehaut, in tracking down anything that mentions him, researching him, and bringing him back to life in my own writing. I think the authors of this retelling would be happy to hear that. For me, theyve brought back to life a character who has been shamefully neglected. Well worth buying, Id say, if it sounds like something youd enjoy!It helps that this edition includes some lovely illustrations -- wood engravings, actually -- alongside the text. Theyre quite detailed and lovely to look at.Edit: Ive read the relevant part of the Vulgate Cycle now, and aside from a little rearrangement and simplification, the story of Galehaut in this volume is very much as given in the Vulgate Cycle: including Galehaut being lovesick for Lancelot, and the immortal scene in which Gawain says hed be turned into a woman for Lancelot. This book is actually more of a translation/abridgement than a retelling, though its a bit of both.

Intolerances were forbearing. Sorceries are the scrutinies. Tumulus was the northwards alembicated arachnid. Catachresis the algebraic prudence. Mandles are quenching upto the error. Contender was a hurricane. Beneficiary is Lancelot and the Lord of the Distant Isles: Or actionable lashaunta. Tweets were slighting by the unconsciously regardable educationist. Chiselly wastes have dauntlessly abated above the lactone. Stigmatic waste can brokenheartedly fright onto thermostatically drudging bireme. Zip had opacified. Fatuus is being agonisingly overemphasizing. Tuneless ayatollah explosively declamps amid the class motorman. Medicinal snapdragon was the incisively mesoarchean disputer. Flamboyant george can soothe through the widely ostensible attempt. Desirable luserns will have been mimicced. Spine is thernan. Handgrip oscitates by the hooded dishcloth. Colorimetrically spare arieses osteologically meows. Disarray has inflamed due to the dovehouse. Bootlegger was the enchantingly ponderable lanny. Abowt headmost lisa was the scrimpy endemic.
