Your pathfinder in this world of mythic adventure and romance, Professor Armstrong, is one of the world's leading Arthurian scholars and the current editor-in-chief of the academic journal Arthuriana. Demonstrating both encyclopedic knowledge and an infectious passion for the subject, she leads you in tracing how the myth developed across time, clarifying many misunderstood aspects of the narrative, such as the origins of the Round Table and the figure of Merlin, the illicit love between Lancelot and Guenevere, and the varied manifestations of the magical Holy Grail. You'll discover how the legend was appropriated and assimilated by differing cultures, and how each writer and artist in the tradition reflected and commented, through the Arthurian narrative, on the concerns of their own time and place. The result is an illuminating look at one of the most engaging, entertaining, and influential legendary traditions the world has ever known."--From publisher. 600 00 $a Arthur, $c King. 650 0 $a Britons $x Kings and rulers $v Legends. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x Antiquities, Celtic. 651 0 $a Great Britain $x History $y To 1066 $v Biography. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 830 0 $a Great courses (Compact disc) $p Literature and language. $n British. 941 $a 3 945 $a cda 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210015644.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518020521.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160123010746.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FFB25584B69E11E592835DCEDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
