Beginning with the work of the Welsh monk Nennius, and the poets WIlliam Blake and Edmund Spenser, Dixon undertakes an exploration of the alternate history of Britain as imagined through the
King Arthur of myth. He sets aside the question of the existence of an historical Arthur, and focuses on the various interpretations and extrapolations of the legend of Arthur and Camelot, in
the historical context of each re-imagining, or re-purposing of the king and his knights. This text is a companion volume to Dixon’s earlier work Gawain and the Grail Quest: Healing the Waste
Land in our Time. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
