Quest for Arthur's Britain

Most scholars now regard the legendary Arthurs reality as probable and accept "Arthurian Britain" as a meaningful historical term. Solid facts have emerged through the recent work of archaeologists. The Quest For Arthurs Britain examines the historical foundations of the Arthurian tradition, and then, in five archaeological chapters, presents the results of excavations to date at Cadbury (reputed site of Camelot), Tintagel, Glastonbury, and less-known places. An outline of Arthurian Britain takes shape, and several fascinating questions emerge. Were the Dark Ages in Britain a transitory, unimportant period? Or did the Celtic resistance against the Anglo-Saxons (a resistance identified with Arthur) have a profound effect on the development of the British Isles? The Quest For Arthurs Britain is a serious and informative work of scholarship that reads as smoothly as the finest fiction.Ashe, Geoffrey is the author of 'Quest for Arthur's Britain', published 1994 under ISBN 9780897332873 and ISBN 0897332873.
