A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The selections in A Book of Merlin draw on a broad range of writers, poets, scholars, and retellers who helped preserve and reshape the Merlin legend for modern readers. Sir Thomas Malory and Sir James Knowles stand near the centre of the English Arthurian tradition, presenting Merlin within the larger cycle of Arthur, Excalibur, prophecy, kingship, and the Round Table. Howard Pyle brought Arthurian legend to a wide popular readership through vigorous narrative retelling, while Alfred, Lord Tennyson gave the legend some of its most influential poetic form in the nineteenth century.The anthology also includes literary treatments by Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Wordsworth, Anne Bannerman, Wilfrid Scawen Blunt, George Parker Bidder, Beatrice Clay, U. Waldo Cutler, George Darley, Sallie Bridges, Geoffrey Junior, Robert Buchanan, and others. Taken together, these works show Merlin not as a single fixed character, but as a figure continually remade: seer, enchanter, counsellor, poet, trickster, doomed lover, and symbol of the ancient imaginative power behind Arthurian romance. The collection is especially suited to readers interested in Arthurian legend, British folklore, classic fantasy, medieval romance, Victorian poetry, and the literary ancestry of the modern wizard.
