About this title

Synopsis

The romances of the Knights of the Round Table bring to life a rich and mythical age, a time of chivalry and magic long before our careworn times--an age in which the Vale of Avalon, shrouded in mist, was home to the 'once and future king.'

Arthurian Legends of the Middle Ages retells the Arthurian romances, the legends of Camelot and the Quest for the Holy Grail, and examines their early origins. George Cox's superb introduction provides a fascinating overview of Arthurian England that sets these fabulous romances in their context.

In addition to the legends of the Round Table, this volume contains an absorbing collection of tales from this bygone age--those of Merlin, Sir Tristrem and Roland--as well as the mythic Beowulf from the celebrated cycle of Norse Sagas. This is undoubtedly a book that will interest anyone intrigued by early England's semi-mythic past.
