Christopher Snyder examines the realities and the impact of the Arthurian legends. Medieval texts and archaeological discoveries are used to piece together a picture of the fifth and sixth centuries, when Arthur was believed to have reigned as champion of the Britons. Welsh and Breton bards sang the exploits of Arthur and his knights, in turn inspiring French poets like Chr tien de Troyes to compose the first chivalric romances of the Middle Ages. Snyder traces the development of Arthurian literature in medieval Europe, moving from Britain and France to Germany where writers brought the stories of the Grail and Tristan into association with Arthur. The nineteenth-century revival of interest in Arthur reached its height in the operas of Richard Wagner, while Camelot has found new adherents today through novels, movies, and Arthurian websites.

With its spread-by-spread layout, sidebars, timeline, and directory of Arthurian sites, this is the most thorough exploration of King Arthur's world ever published.

Snyder, Christopher: - Christopher Snyder is Chair of the Department of History and Politics at Marymount University in Arlington, Virginia. His books include An Age of Tyrants and The World of King Arthur.
