{"product_id":"merlin-and-legendary-romance-paperback-softback","title":"Merlin and Legendary Romance - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn indepth work on the origins of the Merlin of Arthurian legend, this book examines early texts, thirteenth century romances focusing particularly on Merlin as a character, rather than those where Merlin is a background cast member. The outline here starts with looking at the genre and the place of fantasy, moving on to consider the attitudes towards magic and magic-users in medieval times. Main works considered are Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniaeand Vita Merlini; the Vulgate cycle, Suite du Merlin; and finally Malory’s work. The author asserts that each portrays a different approach to Merlin but all are tied to history and to the Christian religion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44576890454254,"sku":"9781138995796","price":74.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/merlin-and-legendary-romance-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
