A Conversation with Professor Meg Roland on Sounds and Words



Professor Meg Roland visits Sounds and Words today from Concordia University.  She is also a former professor and academic advisor of mine from (now closed) Marylhurst University--not to mention an incredible guide across London and Rome in the fall of 2017!

Today's episode focuses upon the myth and truth associated with legendary King Arthur and the noble knights of Camelot.  It touches on some of the literary and historical records supporting that King Arthur may indeed have lived in some form--perhaps an amalgamation of different British kings of old.  She also explores the continuing fascination with these legends and why they touch our imaginations so deeply.  

Due to difficulties with Meg Roland's computer, Zoom conferencing was not used today; the audio is not perfect.  (It's possible we may re-record this segment due to the audio.)
