May 26, Sara rated it it was amazing Shelves: historical-fictionmodern-classicsfavoritesaty-challenge. It makes no sense that a book I have read this many times could still make me thrill with anticipation, bask in the beauty of the language, The Hollow Hills cry with genuine emotion; but it does. I could not have chosen anything better to read in these dark days--there is always the promise The Hollow Hills light. Mary Stewart's The Hollow Hills appeals to me mostly because of his humanity. He pays a high price for his powers, and they are granted to him only at the whim and determination of his god. Thus, it is not Merlin who controls events or chooses history, but Merlin who works on earth to bring about a plan clearly forged in heaven. By that same token, he cannot always prevent tragedy, and he must bear, as all men do, his The Hollow Hills of regret and disappointment. We are able to see him as a man who is given the difficult role of shaping the right future for a nation by trusting that God is behind him in whatever he must do. A pretty heavy burden. In The Hollow Hills Crystal Cave, we see Merlin as a boy and a youth, learning about his god and The Hollow Hills to wield his powers. In The Hollow Hills, we see Merlin the man, who understands and has confidence in himself and what he can and should accomplish for his god. And, we see Merlin as a father-figure, with Arthur as his child, his progeny, his legacy. He is shaped by his foster family into a The Hollow Hills of values The Hollow Hills we see how he comes to rely on Merlin for both love and guidance. For anyone who has only the image of Merlin as a wizard in flowing robes, self-assured and able to command the thunder when he desires, I submit that this image is an empty jug compared to this Merlin of flesh and blood who must think and feel his way toward the purpose that lies in front of him, a purpose that is passed to him as a sacred duty by his own father. There are moments of descriptive beauty that are awe-inspiring. There are moments of sentiment that bring tears to my eyes even after multiple readings. There are moments of intelligent humor that make me smile and The Hollow Hills give the characters who speak the lines depth and tangibility. Stewart is a masterful storyteller, with the wisdom and skills of Homer. She transports us. The only thing that makes coming to the end of this book The Hollow Hills is The Hollow Hills that The Last Enchantment lies ahead! View all 30 comments. I watch in The Hollow Hills crystal and I wait in the hollow hills. But out there in the light I have a young king and a bright sword to do my work for me, and build what will stand when my name is only a word for forgotten songs and outworn wisdom, and when your name, Morgause, is only a hissing in the dark. The main problem for me was the very slow start. Book 2 in particular really dragged in parts. At it's worst it reminded me of some of Georgette Heyer 's leaden writing in her medieval books. I think both authors struggled going back so far in time. When Arthur The Hollow Hills the The Hollow Hills the story improved very much. I really like the way Arthur was depicted. By book 4 the writing was reminding me of J. The read of the final book flew by for me and I'm going to try to read the third part by the end of May.

Following on from The Hollow Hills spell binding The Crystal Cave Mary Stewart came up with an equally enthralling page turner taking us from the morning after Arthur's conception until he is proclaimed King of Britain at fourteen, on the day after of the death of his father Uther Pendragon. It shows us the story through the eyes of a very human, brilliantly intelligent, resourceful, and wise Merlin with powers of enchantment.

Merlin is takes to oversee Arthur's childhood where he is been placed under the care of Count Ector of Galava modern day Ambleside in Cumbria, Northern England where Artuhr grows up with his foster brother Cei, and his loyal bosom friend Bedwyr. Filled with battles, chases, stand offs, melees and exciting journeys, it begins when Merlin is 22 years of age. Arthur has not een born through actual magic shape shifting as in the original legend ub th through disguise, subterfuge and trickery. The magic in this series is downplayed but not discarded and in Merlin's brilliant clairvoyance. Merlin go's into hiding after learning that Uther wants the child to be hidden until he has produced a 'legitimate' heir. He journeys across Europe where he discovers the existence of the sword Caliburn which is in Wales. He finds Caliburn in Wales and from there to the north of England where he becomes tutor to the young Arthur Emrys and Bedwyr. In Galava Merlin has a vision of the word Guenwyvhar when he is with Arthur and Bedwyr, in the shape of an owl, which he foresees will come between the two boys with Bedwyr being figure that will be in the role of Lancelot. Merlin and the young Arthur plays a key role in the battle where the invading Saxons are once again rooted and forced to flee On the death of Uther who proclaims Arthur as his heir just moments before departing the world, Arthur's right to kingship is challenged until he returns to the Chapel and draws forth Caliburn as The Hollow Hills before the assembled nobility A true spellbinding The Hollow Hills in an amazing five part touer de force, combining history, folk-lore and imagination. Mary Stewart is a genius storyteller. I want to call this 'old school' fantasy. The descriptions are lyric, too. In many ways it reminds me of the Lord of the Rings. I enjoyed more than the first book I didn't think it was possible. Well, when I read the first book in the series l loved it but as I go on reading the second book I began to feel more and more excited even though Mary Stewart made me wait to let happen what I looked forward to coming. But even though it came late, I was enjoying as much as I grew impatient. I loved The Hollow Hills as much as I love Merlin. If this series even a little seems interesting, you shouldn't miss and read them : I The Hollow Hills kn I enjoyed more than the The Hollow Hills book I didn't think it was possible.

The first half was 3 stars, but the second half The Hollow Hills amazing. More later! Dec 05, Nicky The Hollow Hills it really liked it Shelves: based-on-myth-saga-etcarthurian. And it comes out much The Hollow Hills positive about female characters. There are few prominent ones, and even mentions of women tend to be dark portents and shadows on the future Merlin foresees. You can do surprising things with it, but Stewart sticks fairly close to the sources, which leaves very little room for surprising anyone who knows the source texts well.

  • Queen Guinevere
    Ingvarsdóttir 1 Hugvísindasvið Queen Guinevere: A queen through time B.A. Thesis Marie Helga Ingvarsdóttir June 2011 Ingvarsdóttir 2 Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Enskudeild Queen Guinevere: A queen through time B.A. Thesis Marie Helga Ingvarsdóttir Kt.: 060389-3309 Supervisor: Ingibjörg Ágústsdóttir June 2011 Ingvarsdóttir 3 Abstract This essay is an attempt to recollect and analyze the character of Queen Guinevere in Arthurian literature and movies through time. The sources involved here are Welsh and other Celtic tradition, Latin texts, French romances and other works from the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, Malory’s and Tennyson’s representation of the Queen, and finally Guinevere in the twentieth century in Bradley’s and Miles’s novels as well as in movies. The main sources in the first three chapters are of European origins; however, there is a focus on French and British works. There is a lack of study of German sources, which could bring different insights into the character of Guinevere. The purpose of this essay is to analyze the evolution of Queen Guinevere and to point out that through the works of Malory and Tennyson, she has been misrepresented and there is more to her than her adulterous relation with Lancelot. This essay is exclusively focused on Queen Guinevere and her analysis involves other characters like Arthur, Lancelot, Merlin, Enide, and more. First the Queen is only represented as Arthur’s unfaithful wife, and her abduction is narrated. We have here the basis of her character. Chrétien de Troyes develops this basic character into a woman of important values about love and chivalry.

  • Structure, Legitimacy, and Magic in <Em>The Birth of Merlin</Em>
    Early Theatre 9.1 Megan Lynn Isaac Legitimizing Magic in The Birth of Merlin Bastardy, adultery, and infidelity are topics at issue in The Birth of Merlin on every level. Unfortunately, most of the critical examination of these topics has not extended beyond the title page. In 1662 Francis Kirkman and Henry Marsh commissioned the first known printing of the play from an old manuscript in Kirkman’s possession. The title page of their version attributes the play to Shakespeare and Rowley, and generations of critics have quarreled over the legitimacy of that ascription. Without any compelling evidence to substantiate the authorship of Shakespeare and Rowley, many critics have tried to solve the dilemma from the other end. Just as in the play Merlin’s mother spends most of the first act inquiring of every man she meets whether he might have fathered her child, these scholars have attempted to attribute the play to virtually every dramatist and combination of dramatists on record. Beaumont, Fletcher, Ford, Middleton, and Dekker, among others, have all been subjected to the literary equivalent of a blood-test; analyses of their spelling and linguistic preferences have been made in an effort to link them to The Birth of Merlin.1 Unlike the hero of the drama, however, the play itself is still without a father, though it does have a birthdate in 1622, as has been demonstrated be N.W. Bawcutt.2 Debates over authorship are not particularly uncommon in early modern studies, but the question of who fathered the legendary Merlin, the topic of the play, is more unusual and more interesting.

This digital version is published by McIntyre Library, University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire with the consent of the author. 2 Department of History University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Abstract of: “HIC FACET ARTHURUS, REX QUONDAM, REXQUE FUTURUS” THE ANALYSIS OF ORIGINAL MEDIEVAL SOURCES IN THE SEARCH FOR THE HISTORICAL KING ARTHUR Final Paper History 489: Research Seminar Professor Thomas Miller Cooperating Professor: Matthew Waters By Erin Pevan November 21, 2006 The stories of Arthurian literary tradition have provided our modern age with gripping tales of chivalry, adventure, and betrayal. King Arthur remains a hero of legend in the annals of the British Isles. However, one question remains: did King Arthur actually exist? Early medieval historical sources provide clues that have identified various figures that may have been the template for King Arthur. Such candidates such as the second century Roman general Lucius Artorius Castus, the fifth century Breton leader Riothamus, and the sixth century British leader Ambrosius Aurelianus hold high esteem as possible candidates for the historical King Arthur. Through the analysis of original sources and authors such as the Easter Annals, Nennius, Bede, Gildas, and the Annales Cambriae, parallels can be established which connect these historical figures to aspects of the Arthur of literary tradition.

  • Cornwall in the Early Arthurian Tradition It Is Believed That an Actual “King Arthur” Lived in 6Th Century AD in the Southwe
    Cornwall in the Early Arthurian Tradition Heather Dale April 2008 It is believed that an actual “King Arthur” lived in 6th Century AD in the southwestern area of Britain. A brief history lesson is needed to provide the backdrop to this historical Arthur. In 43 AD, the Romans occupied Britain, subduing the northern Pictish & Scottish tribes, and incorporating the pre-literate but somewhat more civilized Celtic peoples into the Roman Empire. The Romans intermarried with the Celts, who emulated their customs and superior technology; these Romanized Celts became known as Britons. When the Romans abandoned Britain in 410 AD, the Britons found themselves attacked on all sides: the northern tribes pushed south, the Irish raided from the west, and fierce Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Franks, Frisians) and Norsemen slowly pushed the Celts into southwestern Wales and Cornwall. Some even fled across to the Continent, establishing Brittany in western France and becoming known as Bretons. It is in this turbulent post-Roman time that a brave man, perhaps a sort of tribal chieftain, led a small force of Britons into battle with the Germanic tribes. And due to tactical skill, superior fighting prowess and/or incredible luck (we will never know) this Artorius or Arthur held back the Germanic hordes from his corner of Britain for 30 years, a full generation. This incredible feat is first mentioned in a 6th century quasi-historical Latin chronicle by the monk Gildas. Later chroniclers added detail of dubious historical accuracy but great heroism to the tale of Arthur. The Venerable Bede wrote in 731 AD about the first great victory over the Saxons at Mount Badon (surmised by some to be Liddington Castle near Swindon), and the Welsh chronicler Nennius bases his 9th century story on material from the rich Welsh storytelling tradition.

  • “Aluen Hine Iuengen”: Fairies, Arthur, and Ideal Kingship in Lawman's Brut
    "Aluen hine iuengen": Fairies, Arthur, and Ideal Kingship “Aluen hine iuengen”: Fairies, Arthur, and Ideal Kingship in Lawman’s Brut Nicholas Dalbey Deans’ Distinguished Essay Award recipient Abstract The supernatural themes that most readers know from the Arthurian stories, such as Merlin and Avalon, did not always serve as the primary focus in early Arthurian myths. Instead, Arthurian writers attempted to establish a reliable historical link with the past. Between the mid-12th and early 13th century, Geoffrey of Monmouth, Wace, and Lawman wrote a series of historical narratives that helped establish the foundation myth of Britain. Although each author built on the work of his predecessor, each writer also expanded and redacted scenes for his own literary purposes—particularly in relation to supernatural events. Compared to Geoffrey and Wace, Lawman uses supernatural elements more freely and emphatically. Not only does Arthur in Brut possess spiritual overtones, he also becomes a kind of liminal figure who has one foot in the world of men and one foot in the world of fairies. Much of Arthur’s liminality stems from Lawman’s use of Anglo-Saxon heroic tradition, especially when compared to a hero like Beowulf. And while it is tempting to read English literature as a vehicle for creating English nationalism, especially considering that many scholars seem to read Lawman’s Arthur as a co-opted hero for English nationalism, literature can serve other purposes than ideologically upholding nascent notions of nationhood. Unlike Geoffrey and Wace, both of whom use Arthur for predominantly political purposes, I argue that Lawman’s emphasis on Arthur’s spiritual qualities is meant not just to be emblematic of an English king but also to create a complex literary character who functions primarily to critique both Norman and English forms of ideal kingship.

Signed: Lauren Jessie Chochinov Abstract In Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, King Arthur’s nephew, Sir Gawain, is presented as a troublesome figure whose vengefulness hastens the collapse of Camelot. This characterization is unsurprising in the light of traditional French depictions of Gawain, but it is distinctly at odds with a rival, Anglo-Scottish tradition that depicts him rather differently as a figure of moderation, wise counsel, and courtesy.
