Postscript: The Rhetorical Arthur; Bibliography; IndexThis seminal new study explores how and why historians and writers from the Middle Ages to the present day have constructed different accounts of this well-loved figure.N. J Higham offers an in-depth examintaion of the first two Arthurian texts: the History of the Britons and the Welsh Annals. He argues that historians have often been more influenced by what the idea of Arthur means in their present context than by such primary sourcesKing Arthur: Myth-making and History illuminates and discusses some central points of debate:* What role was BritonsKings and rulersFolkloreMythology, CelticGreat BritainHistoriographyGreat BritainArthurian romancesSourcesBritonsHistoriographyMythology, BritishGreat BritainHistoryTo 1066HistoriographyElectronic books.BritonsKings and rulersMythology, CelticHistoriographyArthurian romancesBritonsHistoriography.Mythology, British.942.01/4Higham N.

The demand and uses of barley continue to grow and there is a need for an up-to-date comprehensive reference that looks at all aspects of the barley crop from taxonomy and morphology through to end use. Barley will fill this increasing void. Barley will stand as a must have reference for anyone researching, growing, or utilizing this important crop.World Agriculture SeriesBarleyGeneticsBarleyGenetic engineeringBarleyPhysiologyBarleyUtilizationBarleyGenetics.BarleyGenetic engineering.BarleyPhysiology.BarleyUtilization.633.1/6633.16Ullrich Steven E1670023MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830879903321Barley4031594UNINA
