The Quest for Arthur's Britain - Geoffrey Ashe 1972 (Preloved)

A classic work of historical investigation that explores the real-world background behind the legends of King Arthur. Ashe brings together archaeology, early chronicles, place-name evidence, and medieval literature to examine where and when an historical Arthur might have lived, and how myth and history became intertwined.

With clarity and scholarly rigour, the book surveys competing theories and landscapes across Britain, assessing their credibility while painting a vivid picture of post-Roman Britain. Both accessible and authoritative, this influential study remains essential reading for anyone interested in Arthurian legend, early British history, and the enduring quest to locate Arthur in the historical record.
