The Norse gods which peopled the Anglo- Saxon past survive in Beowulf; Cuchulainn Taliesin and the magician Merlin take shape from Celtic mythology; and saints include Helena who brought a piece of the True Cross to Britain and Joseph of Arimathea whose staff grew into the Glastonbury thorn. Tales of the British Arthur are followed by legends of later heroes including Harold Hereward and Godiva. These figures and many others were part of a familiar national mythology on which Shakespeare drew for Lear Macbeth and Hamlet creating the famous versions that are known today. Here the original stories are presented again. RICHARD BARBER's other books include King Arthur: Hero and Legend Arthurian Legends: An Anthology and The Knight and Chivalry; he is currently working on a study of the legend of the Holy Grail.Borders.com: England and the British Isles have a rich and still thriving tradition of myths and legends - and this wonderful volume collects together more than thirty of the best from a number of sources. an incredible insight into the fascinating yet complex history of the British Isles and its peoples.
