The Mists of Avalon
The Mists of Avalon
is a 1983 novel by
Marion Zimmer Bradley
, in which she relates the
Arthurian legends
from the perspective of the female characters. The book follows the trajectory of Morgaine (often called
Morgan le Fay
in other works), a
priestess
fighting to save her
matriarchal
Celtic
culture in a country where
patriarchal
Christianity
threatens to destroy the
pagan
way of life. The epic is focused on the lives of
Gwenhwyfar
,
Viviane
,
Morgause
,
Igraine
and other women who are often marginalized in Arthurian retellings.
King Arthur
and the
Knights of the Round Table
are supporting rather than main characters.
