«Alla scoperta del mistero di Re Artù» is the historical essay by Steve Blake and Scott Lloyd (Newton & Compton, hardback, 319 pages, in Italian).
The book reconstructs the historical figure of King Arthur from ancient documents ignored for centuries. Blake and Lloyd argue that Avalon was not a legendary invention but a real territory with geographical boundaries and a turbulent history, and analyse how myth and fantasy have concealed the origins of the peoples of the British Isles.
The work belongs to the «Biblioteca dei Misteri» collection (no. 15). It was originally published as The Keys to Avalon (2000), and this Italian edition dates from 2005.
Aimed at readers interested in the Arthurian legend, medieval history and the study of myth from a historical perspective.
