Celtic Myth and Arthurian Romance
Author: Roger Sherman Loomis
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1613732090
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
King Arthur was not an Englishman, but a Celtic warrior, according to Loomis, whose research into the background of the Arthurian legend reveals findings which are both illuminating and highly controversial. The author sees the vegetarian goddess as the prototype of many damsels in Arthurian romance, and Arthur's knights as the gods of sun and storm. If Loomis's arguments are accepted, where does this leave the historic Arthur?

Paganism in Arthurian Romance
Author: John Darrah
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 9780859914260
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
"His most original contribution to an unravelling of a pagan Arthurian past lies in his appropriation of the fascinating evidence of standing stones and pagan cultic sites. The magical attributes of stones are exemplified in prehistoric standing stones, the real counterparts of the perrons of the French romances. This is dark and difficult territory, but certain events in the Arthurian cycle, which take place on and around Salisbury Plain, have correspondences with known prehistoric events. Building on these elusive clues, and tracing a range of sites around the river Severn and south Wales, John Darrah has added a significant new dimension to the search for the sources of England's great epic, the legends of Arthur and his court."--Jacket.
