The Fall of Arthur | J.R.R. Tolkien
post image

Happy Sunday! My goal this week is to read a canto daily, but I‘m not sure I‘ll manage it consistently. Whether or not I get to post during the week, I‘m happy to be back to some Sunday mornings with Tolkien. I don‘t consider myself much of a poetry fan, but I love this alliterative style of narrative poem. The language is beautiful.

Daisey It‘s also been a while since I‘ve read any version of the Arthur legend, so I may need to look for something in audio form for some comparison. 17h
JazzFeathers You know? I was a fan of Arthurian legends before l was a Tolkien fan. When l was a teenager, l read both sours materials and many retellings. Yet, it's been a long time. It'll be fun to read something that gets these two passions of mine together 😊 13h
Daisey @JazzFeathers This should definitely be a great read for you then! I‘ll look forward to hearing your thoughts as we continue. 13h

Late as always, but l have started this book 😜

But so, this is an original Tolkien?
Is it not a translation, like Gawain and the Green Knight?

Bookwomble It's a translation exercise he didn't complete 🙂 18h
Daisey I think we‘ll be able to discuss this better with one of the included essays, but it seems to me from the foreword that retelling of the legend might be better description than translation of any particular version. 17h
Bookwomble @JazzFeathers Apologies, I was thinking of the medieval “The Death of Arthur“, which Tolkien used as a partial source for his own poem, but it's not a translation. I should fact check myself before rather than after posting! 🙄 (edited) 17h
JazzFeathers @Bookwomble Don't worry 😂 We're here to learn and discuss. I also keep calling this Mort d'Arthur and used to think it was another translation like Gawain. Such a pity Tolkien didn't finish this. But he was a very busy man, with so many interests. 13h

It‘s been a full day with family, so I‘m just now getting a chance to post about reading the foreword of The Fall of Arthur. It includes some interesting introductory information, and I‘m looking forward to staring the poem tomorrow! I‘ve enjoyed other poetry by Tolkien using an alliterative style, so I‘m intrigued to see what I think of this one. Anyone else gotten started already?

#FellowshipOfTolkien #MedievalTolkien

BarbaraJean I read the Foreword this afternoon! I‘m interested to start the poem tomorrow. 1d
TheAromaofBooks I did read the foreword yesterday. I'm not usually into poetry, but I actually LOVED the alliterative poem about Sir Gawain, so I'm quite intrigued to read this one. 20h

hi @RamsFan1963 and @Daisey, I saw this deal in Amazon US but being newish to the platform I'm letting you know. I'm not sure if your lists will be interested or if you already know about this and others who would be interested.

I have the physical version and love the illustrations incl, but only open on occasions and read the one I have on Kindle.

#FellowshipOfTolkien Readers, here‘s our plan for The Fall of Arthur! I would like to finish reading it in February, but I also think this book may require some slow, close reading. Remember our schedule is always a very loose guideline and feel free to post your thoughts at any time. I hope to make time to post each weekend if not during the week.

#FellowdhipOfTolkien

@Daisey and l are planning to start a new #MedievalTolkien read, possibly at the beginning of February.

So, you know, l was an Arthurian legends fan before l became a Tolkien fan. Is this coming full circle? 😆

Pleas join us if you are a Tolkien fan, an Arthurian legends fan, a Medieval history fan... a reader 😁
