A Book of Merlin gathers classic tales, poems, prophecies, and literary retellings devoted to the most enduring wizard in the Arthurian tradition. Before Gandalf, Dumbledore, and the modern fantasy wizard, there was Merlin: prophet, magician, counsellor to King Arthur, guardian of secret knowledge, and one of the central figures in the Matter of Britain. Across medieval romance, Victorian poetry, literary fantasy, and Arthurian retelling, Merlin stands at the border between history and enchantment, Christian legend and older myth, royal destiny and private doom.
This Wilder Publications anthology brings together a wide-ranging selection of Merlin literature, including Merlin's Youth by George Parker Bidder; The Prophecies of Merlin, and the Birth of Arthur by Sir James Knowles; Merlin by Beatrice Clay; The Prophecy of Merlin by Anne Bannerman; The Wisdom of Merlyn by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt; Wise Merlin's Foolishness by U. Waldo Cutler; poems by Ralph Waldo Emerson; The Story of Merlin by Howard Pyle; Merlin and Vivien and Merlin and the Gleam by Alfred, Lord Tennyson; Excalibur by Sir Thomas Malory; and works by William Wordsworth, Sallie Bridges, George Darley, Geoffrey Junior, Robert Buchanan, and others. From prophecy and kingship to Avalon, Excalibur, Vivien, Arthur, and the long afterlife of British legend, A Book of Merlin offers a substantial gathering for readers of Arthurian literature, folklore, classic fantasy, mythic poetry, and the legendary roots of the modern wizard.
