Where was the land of Arthurian legend? Who was the giant Green Knight whom Gawain beheaded? What is the connection between the search for the Grail and pre~Christian practices? The Arthurian mythos is intricate and daunting ~ with current bibliographies listing over 12,000 titles. In this collection some unchallenged, long~neglected theories have been dusted off for examination and discussion by new generations of Arthurian scholars. From a medieval translation of a thirteenth century text to essays by twentieth century writers, THE ARTHURIAN READER presents a crosssection of speculation both scholarly and esoteric, some well~supported by cross references, others containing some astonishing undocumented flights of fancy. All is part of the total spectrum of the mythos. John Matthews' selection captures the essence of what has become known as the Matter of Britain and includes archetypal tales which include 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight', 'Merlin and Grisandole', 'Arthur's Vision of the Grail', and 'Morre Arthure', an alliterative poem which is remarkably similar to Malory's 'Morte d'Arthur' yet pre~dates it by over a hundred years. Interspersed within such tales are definitive essays on Arthurian subjects by authors as renowned as A. E. Waite, Jessie Weston, Arthur Machen and Sir Thomas Malory. Through this carefully~selected collection of writings, complemented with some stunning drawings and etchings from the original texts which are as much a treat as the rare prose, the reader will be drawn into the Arthurian world by a variety of approaches which lead to the Inner History of the islands.…
