offbalanceThis is what it is:
* A "bibliography"of present-day pop-Arthuriana. This exercise is devised to be both fun and eye-opening. You may be surprised to find how much and at how many levels Arthur and his world are still with us today. You should keep your eyes and ears peeled for Arthurian allusions and make a list, complete with full citation information. The final product should list 20 pieces of pop-Arthuriana, providing MLA-style citations for each and a brief annotation (2-3 sentences) describing and analyzing the piece and its connection to/appropriation of the legend of Arthur. Due 5/13. Late submissions will NOT be accepted. (20%) Details TBA.
This is what we learned: Since we already did a listing of Arthuriana on the internet, we are limited to 10 web items. We're also limited to two books, and two movies. Otherwise, there'd be no effort invoved in this.
1. a 'Guinevere' hairstyle from Lucky Magazine
2. The Original Broadway Cast album of Camelot, the musical.
3. Women of Camelot Dolls from the Franklin Mint
4. Monty Python & the Holy Grail action figures
5.A Cartoon: Knighty Knight Bugs: Court Jester Bugs Bunny sent off to Battle Black Knight Yosemite Sam for the singing sword.
6. King Arthur Flour (internet for pictures)
7. Monty Python & the Holy Grail - Film
8. First Knight - Film
9. Mad Merlin - book
10. The Skystone by Jack Whyte: book
11. Swords of Arthur, Lancelot - for sale on internet
12. The Toyota Avalon - auto
13. internet personality quiz- Which Monty Python & the Holy Grail Character are you?
14. Patterns for 'Age of Camelot' costumes
15. Merlin Voicemail System
16. the Avalon Apartment complex
17. Places of Arthur Tour
18. avalon linux - internet - new!
19. MMORPG - Dark Age of Camelot - internet - new!

Thanks to all who helped on the last two...and anyone who can get me #20.
