Experience the Arthurian legend like never before through the eyes of Camelot's women in Marion Zimmer Bradley's epic reimagining. 'The best retelling of the Arthurian saga I have ever read. Completely compelling' Isaac Asimov 'Vastly ambitious and stunningly successful.masterfully plotted and beautifully written' Publishers Weekly -- 'In my time I have been called many things: sister, lover, priestess, wise-woman, queen' Morgaine, gifted with the Sight and fated with her brother-lover's doom, recounts the glorious tragedy of Camelot's brief flowering - not as a tale of knightly deeds, but as a woman's rounded view of society in the crucible of change. Through the lives of pious Guinevere, ambitious Morgause, Priestess of Avalon Viviane and her successor as Lady of the Lake, Morgaine herself, this rich and haunting epic reveals a greater threat to the Old People than the Saxons. For the spread of patriarchal Roman ways and a narrow Christianity seem likely to drive the ancient worship of the Mother forever into the mists.

Condition: Very good plus. First edition. Uncorrected proofs of Bradley's influential re-evaluation of Arthurian legend. THE MISTS OF AVALON breathes life into the character of Morgan le Fay and other women in the Arthurian cycle who traditionally had not been drawn with such complexity.

Once venerated as a revisionist feminist classic, THE MISTS OF AVALON is perhaps the most likely of Bradley's many works to survive the destruction of her personal legacy. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original blue printed wrappers. xii, 858 pages. Light edgewear, a couple tiny spots of soil, spine sunned. Firm.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. In The Mists of Avalon, the Bradley relates the Arthurian legends from the perspective of the female characters. The book follows the trajectory of Morgaine (Morgan le Fay), a priestess fighting to save her Celtic religion in a country where Christianity threatens to destroy the pagan way of life. The epic is focused on the lives of Morgaine, Gwenhwyfar (Guinevere), Viviane, Morgause, Igraine and other women of the Arthurian legend. The Mists of Avalon is in stark contrast to most other retellings of the Arthurian tales, which consistently cast Morgan le Fay as a distant, one-dimensional evil sorceress, with little or no explanation given for her antagonism to the Round Table. In this case, Morgaine is presented as a woman with unique gifts and responsibilities at a time of enormous political and spiritual upheaval who is called upon to defend her indigenous heritage against impossible odds.
