you should be Professor for the Public Understanding of Medievaldom or something, Caitlin

Hah! Far too kind, but thank you again! :) :)

came back recently to yr Dee essay because a clandestine sabbatical projects is RS Hawker & 'Invention' of Arthurian Cornwall
-
Ah, fascinating topic! And glad the essay is useful--the Arthurian legend really is remarkable in how often it was repurposed!
-
I think I've shown that Hawker—mercurial mage that he was—really did invent Celto-Arthurian pilgrimage site St Nectan's Glen
-
That's fab! Do love this kind of thing: the reusability of the Arthurian legend is def one of its most fascinating aspects!
