Six centuries after her life ended, Morgain, King Arthur's half-sister, was subjected to unremitting calumny by the "recorders of Arthurian history," beginning with Geoffrey of Monmouth & Sir Thomas Malory. For them & subsequent writers, Morgain was the thorn in Arthur's career, invariably described as a sorceress, a troublemaker, envious & evil: in short, as a woman of less than one dimension. Geoffrey & Malory wrote to entertain noblemen & the high clergy, who appreciated the implicit approval & encouragement of their status as men. I, Morgain reveals Morgain as an intelligent, passionate woman. Like other women in every age, Morgain is made to confront men's control over "the eternal certainty of grief, ignorance, & the mystery of love."Robin, Harry is the author of 'I, Morgain' with ISBN 9780828320047 and ISBN 0828320047.
