Excellent Reference Book,
By
This review is from: The Oxford Guide to Arthurian Literature and Legend (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)
This book is a great value. Extremely well organized and indexed for a book that covers this much ground. There are certainly books out there that treat the topic in more depth, but this is a good starting point for research. The glossary alone is (which is referenced to the main text) is worth the price of the book.

This review is from: The Oxford Guide to Arthurian Literature and Legend (Oxford Paperback Reference) (Paperback)
This book is informative and intelligently written. Very humble and describes philosophy as it should be described. The author adds religion and philosophy together for a great mix.
