King of the Celts: Arthurian Legends and Celtic Tradition Paperback - 1993

by Jean Markale


From the publisher

In a masterful blend of history, geography, and literature, Jean Markale re-creates the true King Arthur, the real-life Celtic warrior-hero who organized the resistance to the Saxon onslaught in fifth-century England. Markale's unsurpassed knowledge of Celtic history has enabled him to reconstruct for us the actual world in which King Arthur lived--its heros, its values, and its vicissitudes--and to define the position that Arthur occupied within it. - Explains how the Arthurian ideals of knightly virtue and chivalry are at the heart of Western literature and thought - Shows how the Celtic heritage continues to exert a unique formative power on our personal and moral concepts

First line

It was in the 12th century that the first written manifestations of Arthurian legend appeared.
