Studies in the Fairy Mythology of Arthurian Romance

Lucy Allen Paton (1865 - 1951)

In this doctoral dissertation, author Lucy Allen Paton (1865-1951), an alumna of Radcliffe College, takes a scholarly look at the role of Morgan le Fay, not only in the Arthurian cycle, but also in many other medieval European text sources. This edition is an extended and rearranged republication of her original thesis "Morgain la Fée, a Study in the Fairy Mythology of the Middle Ages" from 1894. - Summary by Sonia

A special thanks is given to Brian Ó Broin, for helping me with the pronunciation of the many Irish references in this book.
