The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the novel, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a well referenced publication and plot record. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed, so it is cited here for corroborated publication and plot detail rather than for scholarly critical judgment, which the Tobin article supplies instead.

Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on Marion Zimmer Bradley's novel is a continuously revised, community edited tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author or peer review process, hence the lower tier, though useful for its documented publication and reception history. NotesRead directly. Cited for the novel's 1983 publication by Alfred A. Knopf, its retelling of Arthurian legend from the viewpoint of its female characters, chiefly Morgaine (Morgan le Fay), a priestess of Avalon, its central conflict between a Goddess centered faith on Avalon and an advancing Christianity, and its characterization as a work that popularized Goddess centered spirituality for a wide readership.
