Dryden's 'King Arthur' owes little to the Arthur of history of romance. The play centers around a battle with Oswald a Saxon leader which Arthur wins. He also wing the faire but blind Emmeline whose sight is restored by Merlin. The play was first performed at the Queen's Theatre with music by Purcell and marks the likely beginning of a rekindling of interest in King Arthur and other things monarchial after their suppression by Cromwell and the Commonwealth.
