The Arthurian Legend?

This semester I am taking a course in history of the Arthurian Myth or Legend.  It is quite a fascinating subject because it touches on the fact that much of the remaining primary documentation we have, was in fact tampered with by the author.  Take for instance good old Geoffrey of Monmouth.  His book was on the Kings of England for the King of England...is he going to tell a factual story about the legend that was Arthur/  Nope, he fuzzed that one over so that Kings could link themselves to the romantic grandeur that was Camelot and the whole that it stood for.

Carol Williams who takes this course is fabulous in that her enjoyment of her subject matter grips the student up and takes them on the journey with her.  Our 1st lecture included the brilliant Monty Python; a comedic entrance into the legend that still to this day is re-written, performed and read.  I'm looking forward to the mystery that surrounds the Arthurian legend and all that may or may not be fact in the disclosure of the historical pathways left to us.
