Two Glastonbury Legends: King Arthur and St. Joseph of Arimathea is a book by J. Armitage Robinson that explores the myths and legends surrounding two important figures in Glastonbury's history. The first legend is that of King Arthur, the legendary British king who is said to have fought against the invading Saxons in the 5th or 6th century. The book examines the stories and traditions surrounding Arthur, including his connection to Glastonbury and the famous tale of his resting place at the bottom of the Tor.The second legend explored in the book is that of St. Joseph of Arimathea, a biblical figure who is said to have brought Christianity to Britain. According to legend, Joseph came to Glastonbury and planted his staff in the ground, which miraculously grew into the Glastonbury Thorn. The book delves into the history of Joseph and his connection to Glastonbury, as well as the many myths and legends that have grown up around him over the centuries.Throughout the book, Robinson draws on historical and archaeological evidence to separate fact from fiction and provide a comprehensive look at these two important figures in Glastonbury's past. The book is a fascinating exploration of the myths and legends that have shaped the history of this ancient town, and is sure to appeal to anyone with an interest in Arthurian legend, Christian history, or the folklore of Britain.This is a new release of the original 1926 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
