A Moment in the Field: Voices from Arthurian Legend

Poetry. "The power of Arthurian legend, and of the hold romantic love has over human beings, is shown again here in this moving sequence which speaks almost entirely in the voices of the women in the stories. The harshness of landscape and the culture these people were subject to—the women, the men, and the children—seems only framed differently, but very close to our own. Margaret Lloyd has gathered all this to her with haunting empathy for human life and the life of the natural world"—Jean Valentine.
