Dear John,

Subject: Oral Tradition

Good stuff on Merlin! If there were a 'Matter of Britain' web page of the
calibre of Reinhard's 'L-Lowlands', bet I'd be on it like a shot. I won't be
alone, I think.

Yrs,
Mark

Dear Pat,

Same to you, on archaeology. The historical record is, as I aver, 'cooked'.
In my opinion the only hope of a reliable 'History' of Britain covering the
late Roman to early Anglo-Saxon period is a distant prospect: & it will be
the product of gradual, methodical archaeological research testing the
local -
& I insist on the term 'local', folk record. There is too much speculative
scholarship on the Arthurian period, starting, I think, with Ol' Geoff, & it
gets worse every year. I won't say I dislike the speculation, I speculate
myself, but I confess I suspect I like it in the wrong way, for the wrong
reasons.

Regards,
Mark

Is this (above) a serious statement? If so, you are about to be so snowed
under!
