The Arthurian Resources section of this website was founded in 1998 and is concerned with current research into the early Arthurian legend, especially its Welsh manifestations. For my recent academic publications that deal with various aspects of the Arthurian legend, see the Recent Publications section in the menu to the left. A variety of other material and information relating to the early Arthurian legend is archived and made freely available below; it is is indexed into the following categories. 

The Historicity and Historicisation of Arthur consists of an archived review article of this title, which gathers together scholarship on the sources for a 'historical Arthur'. Arthurian Notes and Queries contains fairly detailed and fully-referenced articles and essays on the Welsh Arthurian legend, which are made freely available online. The Arthuriad offers brief studies and resource books relating to some of the more obscure but interesting aspects of the medieval and later legend. Finally, Miscellaneous Observations supplies a variety of more informal thoughts on Arthurian issues and answers to some of the most common questions.
