Or, for lots of people now, someone more like this?
How do the two early stories of Merlin that we are reading compare to your expectations? Geoffrey of Monouth's Merlin dates from the 1130s and Robert de Boron's from around 1200. They are the foundation of all the many different versions of Merlin we have today, but many of my students notice the differences more than the similarities. How do these versions of Merlin surprise you?
I look forward to hearing what you all have to say about Merlin in your own posts and comments!
