Narrative Toward Books The Fall of Arthur

The Fall of Arthur recounts in verse the last campaign of King Arthur, who, even as he stands at the threshold of Mirkwood, is summoned back to Britain by news of the treachery of Mordred. Already weakened in spirit by Guinevere’s infidelity with the now-exiled Lancelot, Arthur must rouse his knights to battle one last time against Mordred’s rebels and foreign mercenaries. Powerful, passionate, and filled with vivid imagery, this unfinished poem reveals Tolkien’s gift for storytelling at its brilliant best.

Christopher Tolkien, editor, contributes three illuminating essays that explore the literary world of King Arthur, reveal the deeper meaning of the verses and the painstaking work his father applied to bring the poem to a finished form, and investigate the intriguing links between The Fall of Arthur and Tolkien’s Middle-earth.

Now that Ive seen all five seasons of Merlin, it seemed like the perfect time to read this. Arthurian legend is fascinating and I knew absolutely nothing about it when I started watching the show. The creators of the show twisted all the legends into something completely different, that I realized after reading The Fall of Arthur. There is no mention whatsoever of Merlin. It concerns mainly Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Gawain and Mordred.I didnt know that it was in the form of poetry. Its

This was my first time reading one of the books that Christopher Tolkien edited and published. The actual poem makes up only about a quarter of the book. The other 75% walks through the evolution of the Arthurian legend in general and Tolkien's drafts of this poem in particular. Honestly, I skimmed quite a bit. Christopher goes into meticulous detail demonstrating Tolkien's changes and notes and offering his own conjectures on the cause. I realized that I had looked at all of these posthumous

It wasn't a book that I really enjoyed much. NEW MATERIAL BY TOLKIEN! I was really eager to read it since I found so awesome the idea of reading a "new" book by JRR Tolkien.Something that I'd never think that it could be possible.Of course, I know that it was thanks to the editing of his son, Christopher Tolkien.But still, it was a "new" book by Tolkien. A SWORD HARD TO TAKE OUT FROM STONE I found interesting some information of the legend of King Arthur in the further notes by Tolkien's son,

https://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2873556.htmlThis is minor Tolkien, an uncompleted epic poem about the end of Arthur's reign, not far from the version recounted by Malory - which I know only via T.H. White, who was working on The Sword in the Stone at about the same time. One would like to find a direct link, but Tolkien stopped working on The Fall of Arthur in 1937 and The Sword in the Stone was not published until 1938 (Tolkien had read it by April 1940) - and of course the later part of the



Who wrote this blurb? Seriously?"The Fall of Arthur, the only venture by J.R.R. Tolkien into the legends of Arthur King of Britain" -- What's his translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? Chopped liver?"...his finest and most skillful achievement in the use of the Old English alliterative metre..." -- Old English metre? Not from what I've seen. Where're the half-lines? Not sure the stresses work either. I'm sure it is a wonderful, skillful work, but more likely in Middle English

"Thus Arthur in arms eastward journeyed,and war awoke in the wild regions.Halls and temples of the heathen kingshis might assailed marching in conquestfrom the mouths of the Rhine o'er many kingdoms.[...]Foes before them, flames behind them,ever east and onward eager rode they,and folk fled them as the face of God,till earth was empty, and no eyes saw them,and no ears heard them in the endless hills"Like many other authors I've heard of, J.R.R. Tolkien had a lot of projects he never finished -
