"Pearsall is a a knowledgeable, astute, and witty guide who writes for all those captivated by Arthurian stories. He unravels the tangled web of medieval romance in England, France, and Germany, explores the ′second coming′ of Arthurian themes in the romantic revival of the nineteenth century, and shows how the potent mixture of ennobling love, violence, political idealism, chivalry, pathos, tragedy, myth, honour and shame continues to appeal to our present day and age. Pearsall is a seasoned interpreter whose virtuoso readings of the key texts of Arthurian romance, from Geoffrey of Monmouth to Monty Python, will delight and instruct." Peter Brown, University of Kent at Canterbury
"The author′s mastery of the Arthurian tradition results in a book that is both stimulating and learned." Choice
"a book that is, itself, a pleasure to read, both entertaining and erudite. [...] The book′s economy and easy–going style should make it appealing to the non–specialist, but Pearsall′s scholarly depth and range add a lustre that even the most sophisticated reader will appreciate." MLR
