5.0 out of 5 stars King Arthur, his place in history - the definitive account., 2 Aug 2001
This review is from: The Age Of Arthur: A History of the British Isles (Paperback)
In my opinion this is the definitive treatment of all the historical evidence for King Arthur, the period and the setting. Any serious scholar of the period between the withdrawal of Roman Troops from Britain and the Saxon period cannot be without this book. I bought the book in 1978, and it fueled my interest in this period of history. 23 years later, and a near library of more recent books at hand, and I still find I refer to Morris more than any other. Every proper name (place or person) of any significance is dealt with. This is a superb read and invaluable reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that takes this seriously, 10 Jun 2003
By George Morris "George Morris" (Guildford, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Age Of Arthur: A History of the British Isles (Paperback)
At last: a book that treats 'The Age of Arthur' in the way one would expect any other historical period to be treated. A book that, rather than dismissing the whole as an embarrassing fabrication of later times, considers the evidence (writen, archaeological, and other) and teases out of the confusion a feasible picture of the real events of the transition from ancient to modern worlds: of war between British and English; of a climactic battle of Baddon; and of - a real man - Arthur. Most excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars The "Dark Ages" weren't as dark as we thought., 4 Sep 2000
By A Customer
John Morris's book on the "age of Arthur" was our unexpected smash hit of the summer. It's not an easy book because, for a period when historical sources are famously sparce, a lot of attention has to be paid to what we know and how we know it. And talk about your cast of thousands! But the payoff is a marvellous vision of a time when the Roman Empire lived on in Britain as it didn't in Gaul, when England, Wales, Scotland and Britanny were born, and Irish monks and their British pupils spread Christianity and learning throughout northern Europe. The history of a time when all the options were open in a way they never have been since. A good book.
