- Summary
- "Bewnans Ke is a previously unknown Middle Cornish play. The play focuses on a dispute between St Kea, patron of Kea parish in Cornwall, and Teudar, a local tyrant. In addition, a long section relates to King Arthur, Queen Guinevere's adultery with Arthur's nephew Modred, and Arthur's battle with Modred." "The play is an important contribution both to the lexicon and the literature of Middle Cornish. It also provides fascinating new evidence for the cult of St Kea."--Jacket.
