Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
It begins with The Collapse: As the fossil fuels run out, the long predicted crash occurs and world is plunged into anarchy. Economies fail. Governments cannot keep order as people riot in the streets. Tom Mallory, former sergeant-major in the British infantry, now urban strike force cop in London, is driven to steal wood just to keep his family from freezing. But as his axe strikes an ancient oak in a protected natural preserve, lightning flashes from within the tree, splitting it to reveal an old man dressed in dark blue robes festooned with runic symbols.... Reawakened from a spell that kept him trapped for centuries, Merlin the Magician, immortal court wizard to King Arthur, realizes that the world once more has a desperate need for magic. But with no one but a burned-out cop to help him, can he convince the modern world of who he really is and prove the validity of what he has to offer before civilization descends into a new Dark Age?

A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana (1500-2000)
Author: Ann F. Howey
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer
ISBN: 1843840685
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 806
Book Description
Annotated bibliography of the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, not only in literary texts, but in television, music, and art. The legend of Arthur has been a source of fascination for writers and artists in English since the fifteenth century, when Thomas Malory drew together for the first time in English a variety of Arthurian stories from a number of sources to form the Morte Darthur. It increased in popularity during the Victorian era, when after Tennyson's treatment of the legend, not only authors and dramatists, but painters, musicians, and film-makers found a sourceof inspiration in the Arthurian material. This interdisciplinary, annotated bibliography lists the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, from 1500 to 2000, including literary texts, film, television, music, visual art, and games. It will prove an invaluable source of reference for students of literary and visual arts, general readers, collectors, librarians, and cultural historians--indeed, by anyone interested in the history of the waysin which Camelot has figured in post-medieval English-speaking cultures. ANN F. HOWEY is Assistant Professor at Brock University, Canada; STEPHEN R. REIMER is Associate Professor at the University of Alberta, Canada
