The periods described in this website runs from Celtic legands to 20th century authors. The website discusses various legands and the changing role of Guinevere in these stories. This site is both informative and enlightening, the common reader will be suprised by the diverse range of tales told about King Arthur and his kingdom. The site does a wonderful job of introducing many of the older legands to new readers and I highly recommend it.</I></div> <div> <B>Quality of Graphics</B> - ***** <I>The graphics are diverse and cited, a rare thing for an internet site. The era of the picture corresponds with the time period discussed on the page. The site manages to be visually appealing without being overwhelming. </I></div> <div> <B>Navigability</B> - ***** <I>There is a simple overview on the index page with links to every topic discussed on the page.

I consider myself to be well schooled in various legends about Queen Guinevere, and I could find no mistakes on this website.

I was not fond of this site at all. The page, although simple and pleasant to look at, seemed to be created from some cheap HTML generator, hence giving the impression that the webmaster is not to be taken as an authority on the material he presents. I do not recommend this page. </I></div> <div> <B>Quality of Graphics</B> - **** <I>The graphics are the same, typical, taken from an old book graphics, however unlike the other site, these graphics are not cited.

Since no other information is given besides the obviously copied stories, this site is not objective.</I></div> <div> <B>Reliablity</B> - ** <I>No credit is given to the author of the stories. Although the site claims to have dilligently researched their legends, without telling the reader who wrote the legand they are portraying, the site cannot be described as reliable. </I></div> <div> <B>Overall Score</B> - **</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~merrie/Arthur/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www-personal.umich.edu/~merrie/Ar"><U><I><B><U>Merrie Haskell's King Arthur Page</U></B></I></U></A></div> <div> <I><B>http://wwwpersonal.umich.edu/~merrie/Arthur/</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>Author: </B></I><I>Merrie Haskell (</I><I>merrie@umich.edu)</I></div> <div> <I><B>Summary: </B></I><I>This site attempts to "ennumerate as many of the relevant details of the Arthurian legend as possible, and to offer a few theories that will broaden the general understanding of King Arthur and the Matter of Britian, and how what was once history became fairy tale." The author does a good job giving historical information to back up the main stream Arthurian legend she presents. The only thing she could impove upon is to state that the legend she presents is not the only Arthurian legend.</I></div> <div> <I><B>Quality of Graphics:</B></I><I> **** I wish there was more graphics, but what she has is very nice, simple, and unabtrusive. </I></div> <div> <I><B>Navigability:</B></I><I> ***** This page is very easy to casually surf through.</I></div> <div> <I><B>Reliability:</B></I><I> **** She only presents one legend but she does so very well, I only wish she gave more disclaimers about mulitple legends. Another thing one might want to notice is the fact her email address ends in "edu" this suggests that if she is not herself a professor, then she is at least connect with an educational facility.</I></div> <div> <I><B>Overall Score:</B></I><I> **** ½*</I></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://bcn.boulder.co.us/library/bpl/child/booklook/women.html#newman" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://bcn.boulder.co.us/library/bpl/chi"><U><I><B><U>Women in the Arthurian Legend</U></B></I></U></A></div> <div> <I><B>http://bcn.boulder.co.us/library/bpl/child/booklook/women.html#newman</B></I></div> <div> <I><B>Author: </B></I><I>Allison Barrett</I></div> <div> <I><B>Summary:</B></I><I> This is basically a fifteen year old's "analytical paper" about the role of women in Arthurian legend.

There seems to be much more information than Nguyen could gather on his own, therefore I think he cshould have cited his work. </I></div> <div> <I><B>Quality of Graphics</B></I><I> - ****The graphics were visually appealing and accurate on the legendary heroes and heroines of Vietnam.

There are many songs pertaining to the criticism of the war. In scandalous actuality some soldiers symbolized their individuality by giving peace signs and growing styles of moustache.There are songs that are sung about many of these scandalous acts that go against regulatory standards.

The site is all about this genre so I would think that they would be dedicated to the quality of their recommendations. Another point to note is that each review is followed by the name Sierr SilverOwl. It is never stated who he or she is! </I></div> <div> <I><B>Grade:</B></I><I><B> </B></I><I>***1/2*</I></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.theforce.net/books/reviews/main_reviews.shtml" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.theforce.net/books/reviews/ma"><U><I><B>The Force.Net Books </B></I></U></A></div> <div> <I><B>http://www.theforce.net/books/reviews/main_reviews.shtml</B></I><I><B> </B></I></div> <div> <I><B>Author:</B></I><I> various book reviewers </I></div> <div> <I><B>Summary:</B></I><I><B> </B></I><I>The site includes various book reviews related to and/or in the same genre as Star Wars.
