Recent Publications provides details of some of my own recent academic publications, in which more detailed analyses of various aspects of the Arthurian legend and post-Roman British history can be found. 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.
