Legends come and go… why has King Arthur endured?

Most myths and legends get consigned to the realm of academics and historians… why has the legend of King Arthur endured all these years? That’s the question I answer in the first article and video in an informal video course I’m creating, which will offer a quick overview bringing people up to speed on everything the average person wants to know about King Arthur.

In this case, it’s a question of one author having the motivation (and the free time) to combine and condense a number of disparate works into one overarching narrative… one that then received an invaluable boost from a piece of technology that had just been introduced, and ensured that this tale could and would be found by generations of adoring readers for the next five hundred years. Find out the whole story in the video, and please, let me know what you think–or what other topics you’d like to see covered in upcoming videos.

The King Arthur 101 Video Course

As I mentioned, this is the first in a series of videos I’m making that’ll give a crash course in everything King Arthur. We’ll find out whether there was a real King Arthur, what the legend is actually about, what most people don’t know about the legend, why there are no good King Arthur movies, what works of art, literature and music the Arthurian legend has inspired… and so much more.
