For thirteen hundred years scholars have labored to answer the question: Was Arthur real ? Now, after years of dedicated scholarship, intensive detective work, revision and reinterpretation, Norma Lorre Goodrich has stripped the legends and offers the first historical proof of the existence of Arthur. A study at once compelling and revelatory, Dr Goodrich's King Arthur addresses the questions that have tantalized ~and plagued~ scholars for so long: ~Who was Lancelot? ~Where is Camelot? ~Was there a relationship between Guinevere and Lancelot? ~Where was King Arthur's realm? ~Was Merlin real? ~What was the Round Table? ~Was there a Castle of the Holy Grail? ~Where is the Isle of Avalon? The answers, not surprisingly, extend far beyond the characters associated with folk ballads, movies and video games. Using her familiarity with more than twenty ancient and medieval languages, and as an extension of her more than thirty year interest and scholarly background in myth and legend, Dr Goodrich has brought facts out from their hiding places amidst error, exaggeration and histories based on limited resources. She has "rediscovered" authoritative texts and sifted through the immense work done in the fields of history, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, geography and literature. The result is an Arthur finally and definitively greater than legend would have ever had him.

His work, a pillar of the Arthurian kingdom, was most often behind the scenes, and has been given short shrift until this day He was much more than today's popular imagination would have it: a funny looking Father Time figure with a pointed hat, crystal ball, and magic wand. In fact, historians have not lost the man behind that caricature but merely misplaced him. A suspicious overlapping between Merlin's works and those of Saint Dubricius suggest the two were indeed the same person. Merlin's famous Prophecy is a requirement for all historical and literary studies of the Dark Ages that followed the collapse of the Roman Empire, and is given a splendid new translation and explanation in this book. Merlin's relationship with his young charges~among them King Arthur, Morgan Le FaY, The Lady of the Lake and Lancelot~was far more intriguing than the simple stories of history and fantasy would have it He was a man of both scholarship and "magic." It is startling to realize that he could predict his own death~a piece of biography the author discovered by correlating the facts surrounding his death with the date of a little noticed solar eclipse! Combining a formidable array of evidence and argument drawn from years of dedicated scholarship and detective work in the fields of literature, history, linguistics, anthropology; archaeology; geography and astronomy; and her familiarity with more than twenty modern, medieval, and ancient languages, Norma Goodrich recovers for all time a great man of the Arthurian age. Merlin shall hide no longer behind the smokescreen of legend and myth.
