“So many scholars have spent so much time trying to establish whether Arthur existed at all that they have lost track of the single truth that he exists over and over.”

Arthurian list of everything
Hello!
Some of you know I have been working on arthurian lists of stuff for the past… a lot of years.
OPEN FILE HERE
OPEN THE FILE HERE (old file, I don’t have access to this email anymore so no updates will happen there)
I finally decided to put everything on a excel file, easy to navigate.
The list is divided in:
Initial page (please, cite this blog or the links in that page if you use the list or the information extensively)
Old Texts (every arthurian text from the beginning of time to 1900, with download links, dates and language) 
Modern novels (every arthurian novel from 1900 to 2020, with dates, characters, ships, reviews of the ones I’ve read and lgbtaq+)
LGBTAQ+ characters in arthurian media
Comics for all arthurian comics and webcomics, with dates
Movies, tv and webseries with dates, characters (to add), my personal score/review, lgbtaq+ characters
Music, musicals and opera (with spotify or youtube links)
The file is incomplete. Here is what is missing:
OLD TEXTS: links to full texts that I could not find, information on some characters
MODERN NOVELS: new 2020/2019 novels, characters, ships and info for novels I have not read
MOVIES etc.: imdb links, characters for each movie
PODCAST/AUDIOBOOK: the whole sheet
Last update: 20/7/2021

“Of all the female characters in the Arthurian legend, Morgana is the most powerful, even more so than Merlin. Merlin may be a powerful prophet, Morgana is the practitioner. Merlin sees what can go wrong, Morgana accomplishes it. Morgana considers Merlin a somewhat tiresome old man, and it is fitting that it is her derivative character, Nimue, who finally divests Merlin of his power and confines him to his crystal cave. Morgana must still be smiling through the mists.”
— Sara Douglass, “The Betrayal of Arthur”
