Notes on the Arthurian Epic and the Idylls of the King (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Notes on the Arthurian Epic and the Idylls of the King For more than three hundred years after this time there were no other writers of the Arthurian Epic. In the splendid realism of Shakespeare, in the stern puritanism of Milton, and in the elegance of the Critical School the mystic Arthur was forgotten. Then came. The age of Napoleon, of Wellington and of Nelson, and hero-worship was again revived. Scott wrote his legends of chivalry.
