how in the fuck did i get distracted for this long [@ONL] [@Sigurd] Was definitely a fun thing to write, all last minute existential crises and nitpicking aside! Conclusion wasn't quite as elaborate as the buildup to it, admittedly. The big point that came out of it is that the significant Arthurian texts of each period almost completely differ in how Camelot collapses, and the cause of that collapse in each corresponds to a major social/cultural/political issue of the time (e.g, The Wars of the Roses in [i]Le Morte d'Arthur[/i], Victorian gender roles in [i]Idylls of the King[/i], pretty much everything to do with the British Empire and Germany between World War I and II in [i]The Once and Future King[/i] because White was an angry, angry lad).
