About This Book
This work is an impressionistic travel and antiquarian study of locations in southwest England associated with Arthurian legend. Combining close readings of medieval chronicles with on-site descriptions and illustrations, it surveys sites—Tintagel, Caerleon, Glastonbury, and others—discussing local traditions, landscape features, and surviving monuments while weighing historical evidence versus romance. Chapters trace legends of Merlin, the Round Table, Camelot, and the Grail, and consider how folklore, topography, and literary sources have shaped the enduring Arthurian landscape.
