Paganism in Arthurian Romance

by John Darrah

Book Overview

Investigation of literary and archaeological evidence in search of pagan sources for the Arthurian legend.

Darrah makes the valid point that episodes in the Arthurian romances read like motifs from the ancient mythologies... he] reconstructs a lost British paganism, grounded in the rivers, hills and woods, and especially those grey monoliths...reminders of a cosmology vanished from this island.
