Text of original CFP:

The Brut, a history of Britain, beginning with the settlement of the =
island by Brutus, was produced in several languages over several =
centuries. Strictly speaking, Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum =
Britanniae is a Brut, as is Caxton's Chronicles of England. Other =
notable texts in between are Wace's Roman de Brut, Lawman's Brut, The =
Anglo-Norman Prose Brut, and the Middle English Prose Brut. Even Sir =
Gawain and the Green Knight has occasionally been referred to as a Brut =
because of the reference to Brutus and the history of Britain in its =
introduction.

The diversity of settings of production for this history creates a =
unique opportunity to consider the impact of the cultural milieu on each =
individual text by examining it in comparison with other Bruts. The =
enormous differences between the histories should lead to informative =
considerations about the multiple purposes for which they were employed.

Therefore, we are seeking papers that make comparisons between two or =
more Brut texts, and make some claim about the source of differences and =
similarities between them.
