Gods, Heroes & Kings : The Battle For Mythic Britain

Attribution
Christopher R. Fee with David A. LeemingPublication Details
BookOxford University Press2001Links
Description
In Gods, Heroes, and Kings, medievalist Christopher Fee and veteran myth scholar David Leeming unearth the layers of the British Isles’ unique folkloric tradition to discover how this body of seemingly disparate tales developed. The resulting body of legends became a strange but coherent hybrid, so that by the time Chaucer wrote “The Wife of Bath’s Tale” in the fourteenth century, a Christian theme of redemption fought for prominence with a tripartite Celtic goddess and the Arthurian legends of Sir Gawain-itself a hybrid mythology.

King Arthur And The Myth Of History

Attribution
Laurie A. Finke and Martin B. ShichtmanPublication Details
BookUniversity Press of Florida2004Description
King Arthur and the Myth of History considers why, in the 12th century, tales of a 6th-century British king who achieved immortality in an apparently hopeless struggle to repel Saxon invaders, suddenly emerged full blown, virtually from nowhere. They demonstrate that at historical moments of great stress, the turn to antiquarianism, in an effort to bypass traumas of the recent past in favor of archaic origins, offers a unique opportunity for the literary and cultural theorists to investigate the aims and uses of history itself.
