Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“…extremely invaluable…a fascinating read and a very useful reference tool…that most large and public libraries should have.” — Reference Books Bulletin
“Serious students of the Arthurian legends will find this a useful and informative resource.” — School Library Journal
“…a valuable tool for study and enjoyment of an already-essential myth of our cilivization and greatly to be recommended to individual readers and libraries alike.” — Arthuriana
“An excellent companion to The New ArthurianEncyclopedia… It includes all the characters and places; for the major Arthurian texts, the work is comprehensive.” — Booklist/RBB
“Even experienced students of Arthurian literature will find plenty of new discoveries in Bruce’s dictionary. Here the unbelievably wide “world” of Arthurian romance that William Caxton marveled at in 1483 is itemized in fascinating, specific detail. The book should be a gold mine for future Arthurian novelists as well as treasure for the inquisitive scholar.” — Jennifer R. Goodman, Texas A&M University, Speculum
