Matthew | 1 comments I present my all-star cast of Arthurian characters* and would love to see yours!
Arthur = The Once and Future King (T H White)
Merlin = Merlin Trilogy (Mary Stewart)
Guinevere = The War Lord Chronicles (Bernard Cromwell)
Lancelot = The Once and Future King (T H White)
Morgan = The Mists of Avalon (Marion Zimmer Bradley)
Morgause = Merlin Trilogy (Mary Stewart)
Nimue = The War Lord Chronicles (Bernard Cromwell)

*I recognize that this would not actually be a good collection for a novel because the strengths and weaknesses of characters as they appear in certain texts contribute to a strong plot, even if it renders certain characters less appealing than they might appear in other re-tellings. For example, though I like other versions of Guinevere more than the way she is depicted in The Mists of Avalon, Zimmer Bradley's Guinevere is a great foil for her Morgan.
