Arthurian Myth and Legend: An A-Z of People and PlacesBrockhampton, 1999/06/23 - 298 ページ The wealth of mythology and legend that surrounds the story of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table ensures that it remains one of the most popular and intriguing areas of literature to study, not least because it has a foundation in history. In 15 years' research, mythologist Mike Dixon-Kennedy surveyed all of the Arthurian literature, and he has condensed information from numerous and widespread sources. The result is a work that is complete and authoritative, while retaining the important quality of accessibility. In over 2000 detailed entries you will find the famous as well as the obscure: people, places, artefacts and all the other subjects that make up the very essence of Arthurian legend, myth and romance. Included, too, are many characters that might not have once seemed connected with the Arthurian legends, some of definite Celtic origin and others from further afield.--From publisher description. |
