Ah! Cornwell, yes indeed. Did you read "the Winter King"? Arthurian legend
in an archeologically sound environment.
Holdstock is another matter. My mental associations often make big jumps!
Holdstock explores the myth-generation process of the mind and builds some
extremely fascinating stories around that concept, usually drawing
inspiration from the Mabinogion and the Arthur legend embedded there.
