      In his fourth and final book (never published on its own), The Candle in the Wind, Merlyn puts almost all his cards on the table He explains his own political philosophy is anarcho-socialism and he knows Arthur's brand of monarchy is doomed etc

      But he made Arthur become king anyway because it's written into the historical record that his tragedy has to happen and he can't actually change it because when you live backwards the future is what's written in stone and the past is what's uncertain and strange etc etc

      Like it's so clearly not actually the King Arthur story, it's this melancholy reflection on the King Arthur story from a 20th-century Briton who lived through the World Wars, it *says so*

      Didn't Donald Barthelme do a King Arthur story, with Arthur coming back to life during WWII? Eventually the most he does is do inspirational addresses on the BBC.

      Which seems pretty implausible really. If Arthur returned the very first thing he’d likely do is try to kick the English out.

      (A civil servant informs PM that Arthur has returned from Avalon with a hose of fairy warriors) PM: “Truly this is Britain’s greatest hour of need!” CS: “Indeed, sir, though you might want to leave off the celebrations until you hear what he is saying.” Arthur: Rhyddid i Gymru!

      I've seen romantic takes that interpret the Once and Future King thing as Arthur being reincarnated as various heroes throughout history A lot has been made of the fact that the Duke of Wellington happened to be named Arthur

      I thought it was a missed opportunity for Douglas Adams to add that along with the joke about Mr Prosser at the beginning of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy being the heir of Genghis Khan, Arthur Dent happens to be the reincarnation of King Arthur Not that it does him any good

      Arthur Dent seemed a bit closer to the Arthur of the Kinks' 1969 concept album of the same name -- sort of a hapless surburbanite.

      The album being subtitled "The Decline and Fall of the British Empire", today's Arthur being a disposable victim of patriotic myths Kind of like what Adams was getting at by making the last heir of Genghis Khan a petty bureaucrat in thrall to developers

          Anyway I headcanon that if Arthur really was slumbering in Avalon waiting for Britain's darkest hour he must've woken up sometime in 2016, assessed the situation, and decided to quietly move to Canada while he could
