[I'm currently putting the bibliography together for my Worlds of Arthur and, as always on such occasions, I had recourse to the following list put together for a course I used to teach called 'Between Empires: Europe and the Mediterranean World in Late Antiquity, 284-814'. I haven't kept it up to date since I left my old job in 2002, so it's now about a decade out of date, but I have posted it up here in the hope that it will be of use to some of you, whether students, researchers, teachers or 'interested lay-folk'. If you want to add, send in details as comments and I'll cut and paste them into the text of the list - which needs some formatting but I haven't time at the moment.
