"King Arthur in Cornwall" by W. Howship Dickinson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book explores the existence and life of King Arthur, focusing particularly on the evidence and traditions surrounding his figure, specifically in Cornwall. Dickinson aims to separate factual details from the legendary embellishments that have accumulated over centuries, asserting that Arthur was a real figure in British history. The opening of the text introduces the thesis that there must be a kernel of truth behind Arthurian legends, despite their fanciful elements. The author discusses the historical and geographical claims related to Arthur's life, outlining various locations in Cornwall associated with him, such as Tintagel, where he is believed to have been born. Dickinson also reflects on the evolution of the Arthurian narrative through oral tradition and the potential historical remnants that could validate Arthur's existence and legacy beyond mere folklore.
