This review is from: The Arthurian Legend in the Literatures of the Spanish Peninsula (Hardcover)
This is one of the very few places that it's even possible to find information about the Arthurian and Grail traditions as they were known in the Spanish Peninsula. Entwistle discusses the Spanish and Portuguese variants of the Grail history and quest, Merlin, and Lancelot, examining the texts and detailing how the stories of the Round Table came to be in the Spanish Peninsula. His comments are insightful and thoroughly documented. This is a fine presentation of an area of Arthurian studies that many people don't seem to know exists let alone have any direct knowledge of the topic. This work is a true gem and should be a part of any serious collection of works on the subject of King Arthur.
