Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

This book provides an extensive overview of the Matter of Britain, which is a name given collectively to the body of literature and legendary material associated with Great Britain and its legendary kings, particularly King Arthur. The Arthurian literary cycle is the best known part of the Matter of Britain. The medieval tale of Arthur and his knights is full of Christian themes involving the destruction of human plans for virtue by the moral failures of their characters, and the quest for an important Christian relic. In more recent years, it has been the trend to attempt linking the tales of King Arthur and his knights with Celtic mythology, usually in highly romanticized, early 20th century reconstructed versions. Read about the Arthurian legend and its key people including Merlin, Guinevere, Morgan le Fay, and much more.
