Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, Vol. 1 of 3: A Modernized Version of the "Morte Darthur"
This is history as Geofi'rey Of Monmouth under stood it, but hardly so in the modern sense, and Arthur remains as mystical a figure as Achilles, despite the efforts of various writers to bring him within the circle Of actual kings. After the Romans left Britain, two centuries passed Of whose history hardly a coherent shred remains. This was the age of Arthur, one of the last champions Of Celtic Britain against the in?owing tide of anglo-saxon invasion. That there was an actual Arthur there is some, but no very posi tive, reason to believe. After all the evidence has been offered, we still seem to have but a shadowy here before us, a king of shreds and patches, whose history is so pieced out with conjecture that it is next to impossible to separate its facts from its fancies.
