King Arthur in Legend and History by Chris Barber
Everyone has heard of the Dark-Age hero Arthur, but who was he? Stories about him and his Round Table have been told and retold in numerous languages. Interest in him and his myth persists. But how did he come to have such a fine reputation? Was he really a king, or just a powerful warrior? This rich anthology of Arthurian texts, many of which are here translated into English for the first time, provides an invaluable insight into the mysterious figure of Arthur.| SKU | Non disponible |
