Goodbye to Camelot.
Young, Carol C.
English Journal, v74 n2 p54-58 Feb 1985
Reviews Rosemary Sutcliffe's "The Sword and the Circle," a contemporary reworking of the Arthurian legend. Suggests that it fails by comparison with the versions of Tennyson and Malory because it depicts Arthur as a pawn of magicians rather than a duly elected leader working with his subjects to create a just society.
