Review:
...a treasure-house ...the reader of this anthology will acquire a greater awarenss of the richness and diversity of the representation of the figure of King Arthur which existed in medieval literature and history.

This has been attempted before...but never has it been done so thoroughly....The legend is susceptible to any number of other interprestations, and what Richard White has done, so valuably, is to give us their raw material--the very stuff of dreams.
–The Wall Street Journal, 3/27/98
[Offers] an intriguing picture of Arthur and of the very different cultures that made use of him.

An excellent anthology, this will prove the foundation of any Arthurian collection.
