"King Arthur was as real as Alfred or Oliver Cromwell."pic.twitter.com/nTcet0BXeB
Was at a live version of this paper! http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/0078172X.2016.1195600 …
*ponders why you would do that to yourself* ;)
Yes, famously a nutter.
A few good questions and comments from a pretty skeptical audience, but a shame they basically fell on deaf (self-convinced) ears.
Alas, the 'historical' Arthur seems to cast a strange spell—the number of people, both academic+lay, who think they have the 1 solution...
All mutually incompatible+cancelling, and all by & large ignoring the methodological cautions that others try to offer on the early sources…
IIRC this didn't mention much scholarship since the '70s (mostly much older). No Halsall at all. (But no surprise having read his "review!")
I can imagine :( Of course, Halsall vol has issues (cf Hines in EME) but yes, agreed! And Dumville, Higham, Padel, all of who deal in depth!
