The world's most important Arthurian expert presents a riveting portrait of the darkly complex woman known only through legend.; An investigation into the historical woman, Guinevere, believed the legend of King Arthur's queen ; She now adds her interpretations of French romances and Finnish mythology to "prove" Guinevere was a Pictish high priestess. Most of her argument is based on the Prose Lancelot , written in the early 13th century. It is difficult to accept the validity of Goodrich's conclusions when she relies so heavily on these romances as historical proof and provides few footnotes to reinforce her findings. The prose is florid and confusing. Paragraphs often read as though she simply grouped several sentences together. General readers drawn in by the advertising will be disappointed. Not recommended. - Pamela A. Grudzien ; She is not only the leading authority on King Arthur, but also an honest discussion of other voices.--Robert Rey Black ; FINE/FINE. Book.
