No, not some odd piece of fan fiction: this weekend’s visit to Bath raised further questions about ‘real’ landscapes and traditional tales. It is certainly something of a tourist pull – I admit I felt it myself. Had the ‘real’ Arthur – or Merlin – sat where I sat on those steps? Might they have avoided the place as sordid, or unholy – or just plain ruined?
More thoughts here, anyway – or at any rate a long quotation from the Vita Merlini.
