Description
King Arthur: The Making of the Legend by N. J. Higham is a scholarly exploration of the historical development of the legendary King Arthur. Higham proposes that Arthur began as a fictional character developed in the ninth century, and sets out to solve the puzzle of when and why the legend emerged. He examines various attempts to prove the origins of Arthur, including connections with classical Greece, Roman Dalmatia, Sarmatia, and the Caucasus. This book is an essential study for anyone seeking to understand how Arthur's story began, and will likely spark debate among those committed to defending any particular interpretation.
