I created an arthurian calendar for the 2012. It is in two version (one is clear and the other one has an "ancient" effect). In the last page of the calendar there are also all the titles of the pics/paintings I used.
The calendar if composed by: an arthurian poem, an arthurian image, the days of the month.

I am new to this Community and I must say that I'm very excited that it is here.

I love the King Arthur genre. Right now, I'm reading the Guenevere trilogy by Rosalind Miles and enjoying it muchly.

I was wondering if you folks might be able to make some recommendations on books. I went to Amazon.com and found several that I'm interested in.. I like fictions, not so much historical stuff.

I don't want to take up a bunch of room writing all of my list, but here is a start...

1. "Sir Gawain & the Green Knight" by Anonymous, Brian Stone (saw the movie with Sean Connery. LOVED IT)

2. "Le Morte D'Avalon" by J. Robert King

3. "Mordred, Bastard Son" by Douglas Clegg

4. "Merlin's Gift" and "Mordred's Curse" by Ian McDowell

Looking forward to hearing anything from anyone!

Until then!

I'm going to be doing a third year module on Arthurian legend in September.. so I thought I would join up here....

I have read Gawain and the Green Knight in the past... but I had it in Middle English, which was pretty hard to read.

I might go quiet a bit until I start reading for next year, but I thought I would do a heads up.

Well, I'm sure you have heard of these books/works, but here are some Arthurian-related things I've read before that you might like to check out:

* History of the Kings of Britain by Geoffrey of Monmouth
* The lays of Marie de France, especially Guigemar and Lanval
* Chretien de Troyes's The Knight of the Cart, The Knight with the Lion, Erec and Enide
* The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser
* Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
* The Vulgate Cycle, or the Lancelot-Grail Cycle, including stories such as the history of the grail (Joseph of Arimethea), the Prose Merlin, Prose Lancelot, the Quest for the Holy Grail, and the Death of King Arthur
* Guinevere and The Last Tournament, from Idylls of the King by Alfred Lord Tennyson

My favorites are the Chretien works, and Guinevere--they are so beautiful! Has anyone else read these?

Current Mood: peaceful
