Review of The Lost Book of Lancelot | Review of The Lost Book of Lancelot by John Glynn Introduction The Lost Book of Lancelot is John

My novella-length review of The Lost Book of Lancelot by John Glynn.

#SO EXCITED TO READ THIS LET'S GO #also your blog looks so pretty l i love it <33 #arthurian retelling #edit: only read up to the prologue so far and already there are bangers. 'hacks like brandon sanderson' caught me so off-guard and made me #laugh in real life. im gonna be so entertained thank you l #edit 2: IT'S GIVING YURI ON ICE IM CRYINGGGG #edit 3: i was devastated that this was a remarkable retelling because they deserve better than that but then i read to the point where #gawain is taller than lancelot and was relieved because soooo many things were pointing towards it but that fact really solidified that the #author was not a true remarkable shipper. gawain must always be shorter. the near shortest. anyway many MANY other things wrong with this #book but that was a light-hearted funny detail i wanted to highlight on my part.#edit 4: WHY IS LAUDINE STORM XMEN #edit 5: wait i have to say this because it's just hitting me. DEVASTATED by what they did to guinevere and lancelot here. i don't even fw #their romance like that but you CANNOT have a lancelot story where he isn't obsessed or at least in SOME type of love with guinevere to me #that's JUST NOT lancelot if he isnt!!! his most interesting and comedic moments come from him not being normal about her this book is borin #as hell because they got rid of that and refuse to let guinevere be a character!!!! in a book that's supposed to be feminist!!!!!! l im so #sorry you had to read this idk how you did it #edit 6: im at the palomides part and HUH????????#edit 7: the ending... was so .... bewilderingly bad.... im in awe.......#im so upset about sagremore nobody touch me. wtf. it hates women but it can't even do the men right.

Sometimes a family is you, your kohai, her estranged sister, your homeroom teacher, and King Arthur

#apparently this references the fate series. idk anything about that. i just saw arthur and auto-hit reblog

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Thomas Malory is not and should not be treated as the be-all and end-all of medieval Arthurian literature.

Frau Minne, the medieval goddess of love, rising like a tree above the two lovers as the notes of the opera drift around them.

Another sword, another cairn. Cut up an old necklace for the chain. The background fabric is scrap fabric from a thrift shop in Edinburgh, Scotland. Photo doesn't do the fabric justice! It's very pretty!

(Also, yes - the sword CAN come out!)

Another #MarchToCamelot for the prompt "enemy"

Lancelot and Gawain are best friends in a lot of stories. After the fracture of Camelot, Lancelot kills Gawain's brothers and Gawain vows revenge. They fight and Lancelot injures Gawain but refuses to kill his friend.

you are always sharing arthurian stuff that i have never seen in my life. how do you keep running into this stuff?

I run into it through research. For instance, recently I was researching for literature pertaining Gareth and Lynette. This lead me to learn the following things:

A group of eight graders wrote an Arthurian one-play act in 1904. Their teacher shared the creation process and the play in a education journal.

A Welsh musical play titled "Gareth ac Eluned" was written in 1911. It is 44 pages in total (including the script and the score of the play). Said play is held in National Library of Wales.

There's a 1870 Welsh dictionary that associates Lynette with a saint, as well as Luned (from "The Lady of the Fountain" which is part of the Mabinogi). This predates Roger Sherman Loomis.

The interesting find from the 1870 Welsh Dictionary led me to branch off and research how old is the "Luned = Lynette" association. In turn, it led me to find that there are poems where Luned is featured as Sir Owain's love interest (which is something that is quite interesting).

So on and so forward. The thing about research is that you can research about one topic and end up finding a lot different things off topic.

And that's the beauty of it. Research leads you to travel different venues and each one of them are so very fun to travel. It's why I love to share about things I find because every single thing I find is very important (imo) in this vast behemoth that is Arthurian literature.

Y'all wanna see some medieval mobility aides in manuscripts?

There are clues in the margins of medieval manuscripts to suggest that disabled people in the past made long pilgrimages, and were helped on
