hi not to be a menace but. what texts do you recommend starting on for delving into the arthurian lore bc i’ve read sgatgk and the mabinogion and listened to the heather dale songs and have no idea where to go from here

Okay I have a bunch in my pinned post but in summary: It depends on what you are interested in! If you are interested in characters like Lancelot, Guinevere, Yvain, Gawain, Percival etc, I would recommend reading Chretien de Troyes romances, specifically Knight of the Lion, Knight of the Cart, and Story of the Grail, which are his best and more relevant to later texts. If you are more interested in the overall story, the rise of arthur and fall of camelot, the classic choice is Thomas Malory's le morte d'arthur. there are a lot of translations and shortened versions that are quite readable if ur not into middle english.

there are lots of fun and fairly findable epigonal romances (french romances written after chretien de troyes) and middle english verse works (sgatgk is the most famous of these, but sir gawain and the turk, the alliterative morte d'arthur, the stanzaic morte d'arthur, and the wedding of sir gawain and dame ragnelle are all fun). great epigonal romances include the perilous cemetery, the mule without a bridle, and the knight with two swords.

the dutch corpus of arthuriana is also great, you cant go wrong with morien, and i also recommend lancelot and the hart with the white foot and the roman van walewein. i have links to scans of most of everything i've mentioned here so if you can't find something let me know and i'll see if i can find it scanned by me or one of my friends.

i hope this brain dump was helpful! but yeah basically there are lots and lots of fun text options for you so just check out what sounds interesting! theres a ton of works i didnt name here so if none of these sound interesting then let me know and i can offer other suggestions. if u want some stuff more like the heather dale stuff, you might like victorian arthuriana! i have links to my favourite arthurian revival works in my pinned post. good luck!!

thinking about the orkneys makes me want to do art so bad but unfortunately all my creative energies have been focused on sewing little felt animal dolls and then meticulously hand sewing historical clothing for them to wear. for months ive been doing this. i dont know why

what if your brothers stupid hot boyfriend who youve been stalking finally penetrated you but it was with a sword and you died. this also happened to my buddy agravaine

what if you lived in a society with strict and sometimes absurd rules regulating what behavior was honorable . and your perfect older brother was so good at it the best at it even but you just didnt get it because the rules dont make sense and theyre stupid and its not fair that he can play the game so well and you cant. and everyone hates you and calls you a piece of shit because you arent good at following the Rules like your brother and his stupid piece of shit boyfriend. and then you find out that the boyfriend is Breaking The Rules really seriously and you tell your brother and hes like shut up about it, just let him break the rules and get away with it. but your younger brother agrees that its fucked up and you should expose him so you do and everyone forever is like youre evil for this and everyone that died as a result is because of you. and you deserved to be killed by this guy for showing that he broke the rules. this happened to my buddy agravaine

honestly living in camelot is not that great like you guys love to romanticize it but as someone who lives here it low key sucks. the public transit system is so bad bc trains and buses dont exist yet and the rent is crazy high. “oh but the culture” what culture? the tournament scene? watching some random relative of gawain get unseated by some random relative of lancelot every three weeks is not culture its barely entertainment. and dont get me started on the tourists

#vent #personal #no hate im just so sick of squires posting about going to camelot and making their fortune #not gonna happen and dont move here #ur driving up cost of living 🙄
