The Immortal Bear of the North: Stone Memories of Arthur by Fiona Mulgrew
Like all communities who experience important events in their history including war, the northern peoples of 6th century Britain sought to record their story. Their way was not to write but to sculpt, carve, paint and dye vast numbers of stones and other materials with a miniature pictorial narrative that often sought to entertain as well as to memorialise. This they did with an almost magical artfulness. To them Arthur of legend was an adored and fateful figure who led their warriors, the Men of the North, into battle against those who would take away their lands between the old Roman walls. His origins and the important episodes in his life and death were portrayed by the people closest to his time. Guided by tiny sculptured vignettes the author as stone archivist has explored a range of written sources such as historical texts, etymology, early Scottish literature and maps that have helped to corroborate and extend the unique perspective of this book. As a journey of discovery the author invites the reader to suspend disbelief and join her as a fellow traveller in Dark Age Caledonia.| SKU | Unavailable |
