Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS);faqs.176



*** The gateway can be LOCAL or GLOBAL

On a per-group basis, the gateway can  be either LOCAL (only users on the
machine where Netnews  is running will see the Listserv  items) or GLOBAL
(the Listserv items will propagate to other Usenet sites).

To avoid  problems that can  be caused  by multiple sites  gatewaying the
same  group, we  request  that only  a  handful of  sites  set up  global
gateways and that  other sites receive these groups  through their normal
news feeds. If  you feel it would  be appropriate for your site  to be an
additional  global gateway  site, then  write to  [e-mail] or
[e-mail] to explain the situation.

                    *******************************
                    *** AN IMPORTANT PRECAUTION ***
                    *******************************

It is  important that  no more  than one site  per list  set up  a GLOBAL
gateway. If  more than one  site does a  GLOBAL gateway for  a particular
list,  the list  may get  duplicates  of some  articles. It  is the  list
owner's  responsibility  to  make  sure there  are  not  multiple  global
gateways for  the list and to  "signoff" any suspect gateway  site should
problems start  to occur.  No GLOBAL gateway  should ever  be established
without the express permission of the list owner.

In the  event that two  sites did  set up a  global gateway for  the same
list, here is what might happen. If  a user anywhere on the net posted an
article to the group via Netnews and the article found its way to both of
the global gateway  sites, both of these sites would  forward the article
back to  the mailing list. The  mailing list would therefore  receive two
copies and although  Listserv will usually detect  the duplicate posting,
it will return one of the copies to the author with a message saying that
the post  was a duplicate. Since  the author only posted  once, this will
cause them some confusion. Also, it  is possible that both posts would be
distributed to  the list if  software other than Listserv  is controlling
the mailing list.  Netnews would not have a problem  handling this (since
it checks message-id's for duplicates), but  it is the people who get the
items in their mailboxes who would see two copies of the article.

*** Gateway registration

In  order to  avoid  problems  caused by  multiple  gateways, a  "gateway
registration  service"  is  maintained  by  [e-mail],
which keeps track of which site  is doing global gateways for which which
groups. A  list of  these global  gateways, their  corresponding Listserv
lists and  Usenet newsgroups, and  the sites  which are acting  as global
gateways is  available from [e-mail]. Send  the command
GET NETGATE GATELIST to get a  copy of all registered gateways. This file
is also available via anonymous ftp from auvm.american.edu.

*** Setting up the gateway.

The gateway is set up by  having the Netnews service machine subscribe to
the Listserv list in  the same way that a subscriber  would, but with the
addition of setting Listserv options FULLHDR (so that message-ids are put
on messages) and NOFILES (so that non-mail files are not sent).

*** Guidelines for establishing a Listserv/Netnews gateway.

It is the  responsibility of the person requesting the  gateway to do the
following:

1.  Get the approval  of the Listserv list owner(s)  and the Listserv
    administrator at the host node. (Send a "REVIEW listname" command
    to the Listserv  at the host node for the  names and addresses of
    the list  owner(s), and a  "RELEASE" command to the  same address
    for the Listserv administor's name and address.) Send them each a
    copy  of  this document.  If  the  list  owner or  Listserv  host
    administrator objects, the gateway is not done.

2.  Get the approval of the Listserv list readers. This could be done
    somewhat informally  by posting to  the list and asking  if there
    are objections.  If the  issue was  controversial, a  formal vote
    should be held according to the same guidelines as for creating a
    new Usenet group. If there was no major dissenting opinion a vote
    will not be needed.

3.  If there is  a Usenet group where crossposting  would be logical,
    get the approval  of the people who read that  group (in the same
    way as approval of the Listserv readers was gotten).

4.  Post to bit.admin to see if there are any objections. The subject
    of  the   posting  should   be  "Gateway  for   <listname>  under
    discussion". Explain  briefly what  the list is  for. If  you are
    proposing   that  the   list  be   gated  to   something  besides
    "bit.listserv.<listname>", this should be stated. Again, if there
    was no major  dissenting opinion within seven days,  a vote would
    not be needed; otherwise a vote would be held.

    Steps 2, 3, and 4 can all be done at the same time.

5.  Write to [e-mail]  or [e-mail] to
    say that all of the criteria  have been met. Indicate the gateway
    site (if you  wish some site besides auvm.american.edu  to be the
    gateway), Listserv list name,  Listserv host node, list owner(s),
    and  a short  (45  character maximum)  description  of the  list.
    News-admin will  establish and/or register the  gateway, and then
    post to  bit.admin to  say that the  gateway is  operational. The
    subject  of   the  posting   will  be  "Gateway   for  <listname>
    operational".

If  for some  reason  you  cannot follow  the  steps  outlined here  (for
example, if you do not get the  bit groups, so cannot post to bit.admin),
write to [e-mail] to explain the situation.

*** Where to address questions

Questions about Listserv/Netnews  gateways can be posted  to bit.admin or
sent to [e-mail] or [e-mail].

This is the 28 part Frequently Answered Questions chain post.

Some information before the next 27 parts come at you.

0) If you are unfamiliar with NetNews, read this and a few other groups
for a while before posting to get a sense of style.  In particular read:
    news.announce.newusers

1) It is usually a good idea to read all posts, before responding.
   DO NOT ASSUME that other posters/readers exist in the same
   environment as you, or have similar opinions.  For instance, some
   editors/news readers with line wrap really annoy those who don't
   have such systems.

2) Try to respond via email.
 i)  A signature is useful because email doesn't always work.
    You are net naive if you believe it does.
 ii) Problems with email?  Ask your system admin.

3) When you start to post:
 i)  MINIMIZE CROSS-POSTS, EDIT Newsgroups: LINES.
 ii) IF YOU DO CROSS-POST, USE "Followup-To:" LINES.

4) When following up to a previous post:
 i)  TRIM ATTRIBUTION: lines with ">" as the first character noting.
     Especially trim long signatures.  You don't need them.
 ii) EDIT Subject: LINES.

5) Learn about other network resources: mail daemons, anonymous FTP,
etc.  It is not sufficient to simply queries when the FAQ exists and
these other mechanism exist.

6) There is no rule #6.

7) Unless you are Gordon Bell, avoid flame wars.

8) Disclaimer: .....

9) Tired of seeing this post?  Learn about Killfiles.  Oh, you are on a
system lacking these?  Good reason to switch to a different news reader
and operating system.
The Header above is specially constructed to note changes, etc.
If you need to learn more about News, in general ask your system admin.

What you are about to see is an experimental attempt at newsgroup
self-moderation.  It is that: EXPERIMENTAL.  It has near equivalent control
groups, measurements, etc.  Each part is posted once a month for 28 days.
Each part is supposed to represent the group's network memory.  Each day
is called a "panel."  Each panel has a pointer (index) to other panels.
A study has shown that most people will NOT read a post great than about
200 lines.  One hesistates even to write greater than 1 "screen" lest one
get ignored.

News.answers cross-post: a special moderated group for FAQs.
Read n.a. if you want to get FAQs.  N.a. readers: only the first panel of
the chain is posted to n.a., read comp.benchmarks for the rest.

/pub/usenet/news.answers/books/arthurian.  Or, send email to
[e-mail] with the subject line "send
usenet/news.answers/books/arthurian", leaving the body of the message
empty.

Changes are indicated with |'s.
New category: "Magazines and Articles" and "Organizations" added.

This is a reading list involving the Arthurian legend.  For its
original inception, I would like to thank the readers of the Camelot
mailing list (address is listed in Organizations).  I wrote a good
many of the original reviews when I was a member, but since then a
number of people have submitted additional references for inclusion
into this list.

My criterion for these books is that it be concerned with the Arthur
legend in some way.  I have several categories:
  * Fiction: novelizations of the Camelot legend, or novels that use
    elements of the legend.
  * Poetry: poetic renditions of the legend.
  * Non-Fiction and research: includes research into the origin of the
    legends, speculation on who the original characters might have
    been, studies and critiques of medieval sources, literary
    criticism, etc.
  * Medieval and Early Texts: original or modern translations of texts
    written before 16th century or so (an arbitrary divison point I
    used).
  * Magazines and Articles: references that appear in magazines and
    articles.  These are typically research notes.
  * Arthurian references: novelizations that use the legend in a minor
    way or as secondary characters.
  * Celtic Fiction: reworkings (novelizations) of traditional Celtic
    stories.  I suppose I could have a category for research into
    celtic fiction, but the ones I consider relevant are in the
    non-fiction and research section above.
  * Organizations: finally, I provide a list of organizations dealing
    with the Camelot legend.  This is not meant to be exhaustive.

In general, related stories are acceptable (such as Tristam and
Iseult).  Out-of-time stories are acceptable as long as they still
center on the Arthur myth (Kennealy's _Hawk's Gray Feather_) or are
talking about his return (_Sir Machinery_ and others).  References to
Arthurian elements are also acceptable, but I do not put all of them
in (a complete listing would be very large!); only the ones that seem
interesting.  The Celtic works are included, because many of them
apparently provide an early genesis for the Arthurian stories, and
others are stories derived from minor characters in the Arthurian
stories (or perhaps the other way around, characters from well known
stories got honorable mention in these later stories --- who can
tell?).

Disclaimer: I have not vouched for the accuracy of each and every
entry in this list.  If you find mistakes or have additional
information on a reference, by all means, let me know.  I likewise
appreciate any additions to this list.  Send them to the addresses at
the end of this posting.

1. Fiction

_The Romance of King Arthur_ (Mayflower, 1979.  Reprint of 1917
Edition.  ISBN 08317-7460-6.)

Ashley, Mike, _The Pendragon Chronicles_ (Peter Bedrick Books, New York,
1991.  ISBN 0-87226-228-6.  paperback.)  Anthology includes stories by
Andre Norton, John Steinback and Jane Yolen.

Berger, Thomas, _Arthur Rex_.  Berger is the author of _Little Big
Man_, _Neighbors_, and a number of other books.  This retelling of the
Arthur legend is somewhat reminiscent of the movie "Excalibur" in
feel.

Bradley, Marion Zimmer, _The Mists of Avalon_ (Del Rey.  Ballantine
Books, New York, 1982.  ISBN 0-345-35049-9.  Hardcover and trade
paperback.)  A female oriented and positive rendition of the Arthurian
legend.  Considerably more sympathetic to pagan religions (although
depicted as modern neopaganism) than to Christianity.

Bradshaw, Gillian, _Hawk of May, _Kingdom of Summer, _In Winter's
Shadow_ (Menthuen Paperbacks, Great Britain also Signet Books, 1980
also hardcover by Simon and Schuster.)  The story of Gwalchmai, one of
Arthur's Knights.  He is god-touched with fighting madness and is one
of the brothers of Medraut (Mordred). _Down the Long Wind_ is the single
book volume version of the three books.

Bulfinch, Thomas, _Age of Chivalry: or, King Arthur and His Knights_
(John D. Morris, Philadelphia, 1898, many reprints).  Published in
their own right, also found in _Bulfinch's Contains long summaries of
the Camelot legends and of the French Charlemagne legends.

Canning, Victor.  _The Crimson Chalice_.  Originally published as _La
Leggenda del Calice Cremisi_.  Translated by Patrizia Rognoni, Codice
Libro 22 006 CN, Casa Editrice Nord S.r.l., via Rubens 25, 20148
Milano, Italia; Copyright by Victor Canning 1976, 1977, 1978, and for
the Italian edition by the publisher in 1990 (first edition, of the
Italian translation, June 1990).  An "Arthur as Celtic Chieftain"
book, with nice twists.

Carmichael, Douglas, _Pendragon: an Historical Novel_ (Blackwater
Press, New York, dist. by Exposition Press, 1977).  Arthurian
romances -- adaptions.

Chapman, Vera, _The King's Damosel_, _The Green Knight_, and _King
Arther's Daughter_.  Out of print.

Christian, Catherine, _The Pendragon_ (Warner Books, 1978.)  A story
told by Bedivere (the original lover of Guinevere before Lancelot
was added to the legend by the French in the 14th century or so).

David, Peter, _Knight Life_ (Ace Fantasy, 1987.) A comedic book
about Arthur's return in modern day.

Gemmell, David.  _Ghost King_ and _Last Sword of Power_.  A fictional
account of the life and times of Arthur, bearing little resemblance to
the usual myths.

Gross, Gwen, _Knights of the Round Table_ (Illustrated by Norman
Green, Random House, New York, 1985).

Finkel, George, _The Twilight Province_ (London: Angus & Robinson,
1967.)  This is an excellent "young adult" tale about a late Roman,
northern Arthur based on the Bamburgh Castle, Newcastle/Tyne area of
northeastern Britain.

Fraser, Antonia, _King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table_
(Illustrated by Rebecca Fraser, Knopf, Random House, New York, 1970).
First published under title: _King Arthur_. Retellings of seventeen
tales about King Arthur, Lancelot, Gawaine, Tristram, and other
knights of the Round Table.  Juvenile.

French, Allen, _Sir Marrok, a tale of the days of King Arthur_ (The
Century Co., New York, 1902).

Frith, Henry, _King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table_ (G.
Routledge and Sons, London/New York, 1884).

Frost, William Henry, _The Court of King Arthur; Stories from the
land of the Round Table_ (Illustrated by Sydney Richmond Burleigh, C.
Scribners Sons, New York, 1903).

Gloag, John, _Artorius Rex_ (New York: St. Martin's, 1977.)  This is
the final volume in a late Roman trilogy with two "pre-Arthurian"
novels titled _The Caesar of the Narrow Seas_ and _The Eagles Depart_.
_Artorius Rex_ is another Romano-Celtic tale which attempts a
historical reconstruction.

Godwin, Parke, _The Last Rainbow_, _Fire Lord_, _Beloved Exile_
(Bantam Books).  His characters are terrific, the sense of time and
place eye opening.  Arthur in the beginning is a native officer in the
Roman legions guarding the northern borders.

Godwin, Parke, _Invitation to Camelot_ (Ace, 1988.)  An anthology
including stories by Tanith Lee, Morgan Llywelyn, Elizabeth
Scarborough and Jane Yolen.

Haar (Hoar?), J. T.  _King Arthur_ (New York: Crane Russak, c.1967,
1975.)

Hanratty, Peter, _The Book of Mordred_ and _The Last Knight of Albion_
(Ace Fantasy and Bluejay Books.  ISBNs 0-441-07018-3 and
0-312-94271-8.  Paperback and trade paperback.)  A retelling of the
Arthurian legend in a bizarre mix of modern and ancient times.

Hanson, Charles Henry, _Stories of the Days of King Arthur_ (With
illustrations by Gustave Dore, T. Nelson, London/Edinbugh/New York,
1898).

Hastings, Selina, _Sir Gawain and the Loathly Lady_ (Lothrop, Lee &
Shepard Books, New York, 1985).

Humble, William F.  _A Tale of Arthur_ (Anthony Blond, London, 1967).

Jones, Courtway, _In the Shadow of the Oak King_.  It apparently
tries to tell the story in a historically 'realistic' setting (i.e.,
without grafting the high middle ages onto sixth century Britain).

Jones, Mary J., _Avalon_ (The Naiad Press, ISBN: 0-941483-96-7, 1991).
This is set in the closing days of King Arthur's reign and mostly
concerns the Lady of the Lake at that time (Argante, whom I don't
believe appears in any legend; her predecessor is Nimue), with some
recounting of her childhood.  Definitely a feminist reading, and not
as well done as _Mist of Avalon_, for example.  It is also curiously
incomplete.  More books may be planned.

Katz, Welwyn Wilton, _The Third Magic_ (Groundwood Books/Douglas &
McIntyre, ISBN (bound): 0-88899-068-5 (pbk): 0-88899-126-6, 1988).  A
"young adult" book, this one has one of the more imaginative
retellings of the Arthurian legend.

Kennealy, Patricia, _The Hawk's Gray Feather_ (ROC (division of
Penguin Books), ISBN 0-451-45053-1, 1990). First in _The Tales of
Arthur_, a series in which the later books have not yet been
published.  Builds upon the world of _The Silver Branch_, _The Copper
Crown_ and _The Throne of Scone_ in which the Sidhe were aliens.  This
book is set much earlier.  A good fantasy/SF blend.

Lanier, Sidney, ed., _King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table_,
(Grosset & Dunlap, 1950. ISBN 0-448-06016-7.)  A reasonable children's
version.  The Scribner, New York edition is illustrated by N.C. Wyeth.
Original copyright in 1924.

Lang, Andrew, _Tales of the Round Table_ (London, New York :
Longmans, Green, 1923).  Based on the tales in the _Book of Romance_
edited by Andrew Lang.

Latymer, Baron Francis Burdett Thomas Coutts-Nevill, _The Romance of
King Arthur_, (London, John Lane; New York, John Lange Co.  1907).

Lawhead, Stephen, _Taliesin_, _Merlin_, _Arthur_ (Avon Books, plus
British and Australian printings. 1988).  _Pendragon_ is supposed to
complete this series, but I haven't seen it in print yet.  Lawhead is
an excellent writer and these stories make a very good read.

McDermott, Gerald, _The Knight of the Lion_ (New York : Four Winds
Press, c1979).  Juvenile: a retelling of the adventures of Sir Yvain
and his faithful lion, as the young knight goes through several
trials to prove himsself worthy of a great triumph.

McGowen, Tom, _Sir Machinery_ (Folet Publishing Company, Chicago, 1970.
ISBN 0-695-40167-X hardback, 0-695-80167-8 trade paperback.)  An amusing
children's tale set in modern days.  Based upon the notion that King
Arthur will come back to save Britain again.

Marshall, Edison, _The Pagan King_ (Garden City, N.Y., Doubleday, 1959).

Matthews, John, ed., _An Arthurian Reader: Selections from Arthurian
Legend, Scholarship, and Story_ (Aquarian Press, Sterling Publishing
Company, New York, 1988).

Monaco, Richard, _Parsival or a Knight's Tale_, _The Grail War_, and
_The Final Quest_ (Berkley Books, New York, 1983.  ISBN 0-425-05143-9.
Paperback).

Munn, H. Warner, _Merlin's Godson_ (1st Ballantine Books ed. New York:
Ballantine Books, c1976). Originally published as 2 separate works:
_King of the World's Edge_ and _The Ship from Atlantis_.

Munn, H. Warner, _Merlin's Ring_, (New York, Ballantine Books
[1974]).  Sequel or related to _Merlin's Godson_.

Newell, William Wells, _King Arthur and the table round : tales
chiefly after the Old French of Crestien of Troyes : with an account
of Arthurian romance, and notes_ (1897).

Newman, Sharon, _Guinevere, The Chessboard Queen_, _?_, _Guinevere
Evermore_ (New York: St.  Martin's, 1981).

Norton, Andre, _Merlin's Mirror_ (Daw Books, 1975.)  Merlin is a half-
breed: human and space alien, and the war between light and darkness
is recast into a war between two space going races.  The premise is
bizarre, but Norton makes it work well.

Philip, Neil. _The tale of Sir Gawain_ (illustrated by Charles
Keeping. New York : Philomel Books, 1987).

Powers, Tim, _The Drawing of the Dark_.  Ambrosius and the Fisher-King.

Price, Robert, _The Last Pendragon_ (Walker and Co. NY 1991) Telling
of Bedwyr, last of the Knights after the Fall, and Irion, son of
Mordred, and the Saxon threat to what's left of old Britain.  Arthur
himself appears only in the prolog.  "Tactics" oriented.

Pyle, Howard, _The story of King Arthur and his knights_ (New York :
C. Scribner's Sons, 1904, c1903).

Seare, Nicholas, _Rude Tales and Glorious_ (Clarkson N. Potter, Inc.,
New York.  Hardback).  Classic rendition.  Title says it all.  This is
a retelling of the Arthurian tales.  Merlin is a two bit con
artist/pimp, Gwen is a whore that enjoys giving out free samples,
Arthur is Merlin's assistant.  It is a riot.

Service, Pamela F., _Winter of Magic's Return_, _Tomorrow's Magic_
(Atheneum, New York, 1987). Five hundred years after the Devastation
destroys modern civilization, the young Merlin and two friends
succeed in bringing back King Arthur to Britain in the grip of a
nuclear winter and together they struggle to build a new and better
society despite the evil plotting of Morgan Le Fay.  Juvenile fiction.

Busoni. Chicago : Follett Pub. Co., 1955).

books in the same series: _The Boy King_, by Greg Stafford, ISBN
0-933635-78-8; _The King Arthur Companion_, by Phyllis Ann Karr, ISBN
0-993635-17-6; _Knights Adventurous_, by Greg Stafford, ISBN
0-933635-70-2.  This is part of an excellent role playing game, but
the books are worth reading by themselves as well.  There are several
books the game is made of, purchaseable separately.  Most of it is a
very detailed glossary of people in the various versions of the saga
(with primacy to Mallory's), but almost half of it is spent on similar
glossaries of notable places, of special "things", and many other
fascinating tidbits, such as an attempt at a self-consistent
chronology of Arthur's reign, and so on.

Steinbeck, John, _The Acts of King Arthur and his Noble Knights_
(Del Rey.  Paperback.)  Rendition of Le Morte D'Arthur into modern
day English.  Not complete.

Stewart, Mary, _The Crystal Cave_, _The Hollow Hills_, _The Last
Enchantment_, and _The Wicked Day_ (Fawcett Crest.)  A modern
retelling of the legend.  The first three are narrated by Merlin,
and the last in third person.

Stone, Brian, translater.  _Sir Gawain and the Green Knight_.
(Penguin Books, many reprints.  c1959.  ISBN 0-14-044092-5.)
Beautiful translation.

Sutcliff, Rosemary, _Sword at Sunset_ (Coward-McCann, Inc, New York,
1963.  Hardcover and paperback available.)  A telling of Arthur as he
might actually have been, a local Celtic warlord.

Sutcliff, Rosemary, _The Light Beyond the Forest_ (1979) and _The
Sword in the Circle_ (1981) (London: Bodley Head.)  You can see from
the dates that these are somewhat later than her adult novel _Sword at
Sunset_.  They are technically "young adult" titles.

Sutcliff, Rosemary, _The road to Camlann_ (1st ed.  New York :
Dutton, 1982). The evil Mordred, plotting against his father King
Arthur, implicates the Queen and Sir Lancelot in treachery and brings
about the downfall of Camelot and the Round Table.  "Young adult."

Talbott, Hudson, _King Arthur : The Sword in the Stone_ (New York :
Books of Wonder, 1991).

Tolstoy, Nikolai, _The Coming of the King: A Novel of Merlin_ (Bantam
Books, 1989.  Trade paperback.)  Very closely based on the Welsh
mabinogion -- poetry rendered into prose.  Makes no attempt at
"realism": the grotesquely fantastic has its day here.  Lyrical
writing, worth reading.  Long.

Treece, Henry, _The Great Captains_ (New York: Random House, 1956.)
This is another sort of Celtic late Roman novel with characters such
as Artos the Bear/Artorius, dux bellorum, Bedwyr, Cie, Medrawt, and
Drostan.  An excellent story, but not one for the squeamish.

Troughton, Joanna, _Sir Gawain and the loathly damsel_ (retold and
illustrated by Joanna Troughton.  1st ed.  New York : Dutton, 1972).
Adapted from an anonymous fifteenth-century poem, The Weddynge of Sir
Gawen and Dame Ragnell: in order to obtain the answer to a riddle
that will save King Arthur's life, Sir Gawain must marry the ugliest
maiden in the world.  Juvenile.
