Glastonbury is one of the magical places of England. It appeals alike to the pilgrim, the lover of history, the seeker after occult truths. Its dramatic ruins and landscape have always made a deep impression on those who have seenthem. James Carley shows how Glastonbury Abbey grew from obscure beginnings to become one of the greatest abbeys in England. Its history was a chequered one; a disastrous fire in 1184 destroyed almost all the buildings, includingthe `old church' which may have predated the Saxon invasions. It rose again, however, and became once more a house rich in relics and stories: Joseph of Arimathea and Arthur, St Dunstan and a host of other saints were all associated with it. Drawing on the relics of the abbey, dispersed at the Dissolution, Professor Carley builds up a picture of its intellectual inheritance as well as its historical presence.
