The Arthurian legend lives on as powerfully and enduringly as ever. Yet there is an aspect to this myth which has been neglected, but which is perhaps its most potent part of all. For central to the Arthurian stories are the mysterious, sexually alluring enchantresses, the spellcasters and mistresses of magic who wield extraordinary influence over Arthur's life and destiny, bestriding the Camelot mythology with a dark and brooding presence. Carolyne Larrington brings these dangerous women vibrantly to life. Here is Morgan-le-Fay, a complex sorceress of great cunning and skill, immortalised by Helen Mirren's Morgana in John Boorman's film "Excalibur". Here too are the mystical Lady of the Lake; the beguiling Viviane, Merlin's deadly nemesis; and Morgause, Queen of Orkney, mother to Mordred, Arthur's incestuously-conceived son and his bitterest foe. Echoing the search for the Grail by the knights of the Round Table, Larrington takes her readers on an intriguing quest of her own - to discover why Arthurian enchantresses continue to bewitch us. Her journey takes in the enchantresses as they appear in poetry and painting, in politics and the theatre, on the Internet and TV, in high culture and popular culture. Whether they be chaste or depraved, necrophiliacs or virgins, benevolent or filled with hatred, the enchantresses represent a strain of femininity which continually challenges male chivalric values from within. These women are survivors. They outlive the collapse of Camelot and all it stands for. And it is as archetypal manifestations of the feared, uncontainable Other that they continue to inspire admiration, fright and fascination in equal measure. King Arthur's Enchantresses makes a unique contribution to contemporary writing on the Arthurian myths. It will intrigue and delight anyone with an interest in mythology, religion, cultural history and medieval literature."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aArthurian romances$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLegends$zGreat Britain 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMagic in literature 606 $aMorgan le Fay (Legendary character)$vRomances$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen in literature 606 $aWomen$xMythology 606 $aHistory$2BIC 615 0$aArthurian romances$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLegends 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMagic in literature. 615 0$aMorgan le Fay (Legendary character)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen in literature. 615 0$aWomen$xMythology. 615 7$aHistory. 676 $a398.352 676 $a820.9351 700 $aLarrington$b Carolyne$0222983 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777603103321 996 $aKing Arthur's enchantresses$93703969 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04090nam 22007094a 450 001 9910962355003321 005 20251117073718.0 010 $a1-60781-785-3 035 $a(CKB)2430000000002215 035 $a(OCoLC)646796089 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10275533 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000484167 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11332316 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000484167 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10574378 035 $a(PQKB)10578305 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse48810 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3443825 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10275533 035 $a(OCoLC)932314544 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3443825 035 $a(EXLCZ)992430000000002215 100 $a20040204d2004 ub 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aEntering America $enortheast Asia and Beringia before the last glacial maximum /$fedited by D.B.
