If you're interested in Arthuriana, you should also read Gillian Bradshaw's magical _Hawk of May_ trilogy. It's more of a Celtic take, without Bradley's particular agenda. In some ways it hearkens back to what Vera Chapman was doing in the 1970s with her Arthurian trilogy (also worth reading btw), but Bradshaw is an historian/classicist, so her Arthurian world, magic aside, seems to have more verisimilitude, anyway (she notes, also when she's departed from known history).
