Discovering King Arthur - Beryl Beare

paperback VG. ‘Discovering King Arthur’ is not intended as an academic book, but is a voyage of discovery through the Arthurian cycle with stories retold from the main British authors. Because these stories have been selected for their dramatic impact they are divided into acts, and scenes within acts, but are told in straightforward narrative form with each act and scene introduced by a brief passage from its original source. The stories range from before Arthur’s birth, with - from Geoffrey of Monmouth - Merlin’s prophecies and his adventures at the hand of King Vortigen. They continue through the cycle with various tales from Malory, a tale from the Welsh ‘Mabinogion’, and the entertaining story of Gareth and Lynette from Tennyson’s ‘Idylls of the King’. ‘Discovering King Arthur’ also contains much helpful information for the reader: a brief description of the characters, some details about the geographical and political situation in fifth and sixth century Britain, a synopsis of the Arthurian story and, finally, some information about the authors and their sources and the influence of Arthur on our culture today. pick up from Tollcross, Edinburgh, or can post to Uk for an extra £3.00 Ad ID: Delivery Services Consumer Credit

King Arthur in Antiquity

King Arthur in Antiquity: This original and compelling study argues against the traditional identification of Arthur as a king in Celtic Britain. Instead, Graham Anderson explores the evidence for two much older figures, known to classical writers as kings of Arcadia and Lydia, over a millenium before. He shows how these kings can be clearly connected with traditional Arthurian characters and adventure, including an ancient Gawain, a Lady of Shallott, and a predecessor of Excalibur, and shows that the Arthurian universe found in Welsh tales and French romances is already anticipated in these earliest of Arthurian materials. This radical reassessment of the Arthurian legends provides a new perspective on on age-old historical puzzle, and will provoke debate amongst Classical and Medieval scholars and Arthurian enthusiasts.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Twain, Mark / Stein, Bernard L. / Beard, Daniel Carter, PUBLISHER: University of California Press, "A Connecticut Yankee" is Mark Twain's most ambitious work, a tour de force with a science-fiction plot told in the racy slang of a Hartford workingman, sparkling with literary hijinks as well as social and political satire. Mark Twain characterized his novel as "one vast sardonic laugh at the trivialities, the servilities of our poor human race." The Yankee, suddenly transported from his native nineteenth-century America to the sleepy sixth-century Britain of King Arthur and the Round Table, vows brashly to "boss the whole country inside of three weeks." And so he does. Emerging as "The Boss," he embarks on an ambitious plan to modernize Camelot--with unexpected results.
