Description
For centuries, Arthurian legend has been shaped by kings, knights, prophecy and war. But what happens when the women of Camelot step out of the margins and begin telling the story themselves?
Across fantasy fiction, a new generation of writers is returning to Arthurian myth to reclaim the women long reduced to symbols, temptresses or footnotes. Through feminist and queer retellings, these authors are reshaping one of Britain’s most enduring legends for modern audiences.
Join Sophie Keetch, Sam Davey and Tasha Suri for a fascinating discussion on power, fate, ambition and desire in Arthurian storytelling. Drawing on Storm Over Camelot, The Chosen Queen and The Isle in the Silver Sea, the panel explores why these ancient myths continue to resonate and what modern retellings reveal about gender, leadership and who gets remembered throughout history.
Blending fantasy, folklore and historical myth, this conversation asks what it means to rewrite Camelot and who gets to shape the legend now.
