A guest lecture at the invitation of the Flintshire Historical Society
The lecture covered the development of the Arthurian legends from their earliest evidence to the present day through a journey covering manuscript and printed books from among the treasures of the Centre for Arthurian Studies collections, bringing together Bangor University collections and the Flintshire Harries collection. Among other, the impact of the talk is that the society is planning its annual trip in 2019 to be to visit the Centre for Arthurian Studies.
Underpinning research: My research into the medieval to modern material contexts in which Arthurian legends survive informed this talk, in particular my work on the Grail quest and chronicle accounts of Arthur's feats of arms.
Beneficiaries: Flintshire Historical Society (70+ in attendance) and guests (friends and local community) attended the lecture - educated audiences, the general public.
