Albion. Today that word conjures impressions of a lost, utopian version of Britain – but the story of Albion as it was originally told in the middle ages is anything but beautiful. According to the early Brut chronicle, Albion was first discovered by a group of sisters who then propagated with the wandering devils they found there, spawning a race of giants. This was the strange land then conquered by Brutus, who gives his name to modern Britain.
Madeleine Smart of the University of Liverpool continues the story in this podcast, which was recorded during the series Late Summer Lectures organised by the Department of English Studies at Durham University.
