About the BookThe story of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is the chief myth of Britain. But is it something more than myth? Solid facts have emerged through the recent work of archaeologists. This book examines the historical foundations of the Arthurian tradition, and then presents the results of excavations to date at Cadbury (reputed site of Camelot), Tintagel, Glastonbury and less-known places. Praise"The best sort of historical detective story."––The Economist "A useful compendium of information about the Arthurian problem, the Arthurian legend, and about what archaeology says of western Britain between a.d. 350 and 600 . . . this work is of great importance and interest: long may it continue and prosper."––The Guardian "Ideal for romantic patriots and for those with a serious interest in our national origins."––The Observer |
