Internals clean and completely unmarked, moderately toned, more so on edges. 149 illustrations and maps. Most scholars now regard Arthur's reality as probable and 'Arthurian Britain' as a meaningful historical term. This book examines the historical foundations of the Arthurian tradition, and then, in five archaeological chapters, presents the results of excavations to date (1976 pub date, first published 1968) at Cadbury, Tintagel, Glastonbury, and less-known places. Interesting questions and answers to such are explored--Were the Dark Ages in Britain a transitory, unimportant period? Or did the Celtic resistance against the Anglo-Saxons--a resistance identified with Arthur--have a profound effect on the development of Britain? The best sort of historical detective story. 238 pages with Chronology, Bibliography and Index. Paladin, Great Britain, 1976.…

From dux bellorum to immortal monarch, from medieval romance to Broadway stage, from Malory to Monty Python, Arthur has appeared in numerous languages and media. The Arthurian tradition is rich and complex, with every generation, indeed every writer and artist, reinterpreting the material in light of contemporary artistic, ideological or even political views. In part, it is this "transposability" of the legend that explains, or at least permits, its popularity. Arthur can be portrayed as the patriarch of medieval romance, a military leader of early Britain, a romantic hero . or a timeless ideal. Here at last is a reliable, authoritative reference worthy of this grand legend, comprehensive yet both easy and enjoyable to read. Containing over 650 entries by 94 scholars from around the world, The Arthurian Encyclopedia spans 1,500 years of history and chronicle, art and archaeology, folklore and myth, music, film and television. Fully cross~referenced, with more than four dozen photographs and drawings, a list of entries arranged by category, as well as a select general bibliography and brief bibliographies with each entry. Norris J. Lacy is president of the International Arthurian Society and a scholar of medieval French literature at the University of Kansas. Jacket illustration by Walter Velez.
