Petronius the Poet: Verse and Literary Tradition in the Satyricon
This is a very readable overview of the Arthur of history and of legend by a well-written and world renowned scholar of Arthurian legend. He begins with the historical Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, and Lancelot and then adds the early pagan legends that developed around them, and then explores the means by which these early legends were later Christianized. He explores not just the people but also the legends around Camelot, the Grail, and Avalon. He looks at some of the potential spiritual significance of the legends for both the early pagan faith and for the Christian who embraces the romance of Arthur and the knights of the Round Table.
