It's a past hitherto hidden in myth and mystery, and one so exciting to lovers of literature and history. Yet Arthur himself, both the last Roman emperor and the first medieval king, represented a form of continuity...and pointed the way to future English history. ...Morris has created more than the most devoted of Arthurian enthusiasts could ever have hoped for...in a style of great elegance...--Times Literary Supplement. ...probably contains all you want on the subject.--History Magazine.A lifetime's scholarship enabled John Morris to recreate a past hitherto hidden in myth and mystery. In this reissued edition, he describes the Arthurian age as the starting point of future British history, for it saw the transition from Roman Britain to Great Britain.
