An online study guide
This website aims to be a free studying resource for all students reading Marion Zimmer Bradley's epic tome, The Mists of Avalon. This study guide is divided into sections, accessible by the navigation bar on the left.
We've included information on the setting and important objects, detailed descriptions of the characters, summaries of each chapter, and an in-depth analysis of the themes and significance of the book as well as the author's technique and style. There is also a review section to assess your knowledge and understanding of the book, and a sample literary analysis essay to give you an idea on how your analysis on the book should be presented.

How to use this website
The website's layout is quite simple; on the left, we have a menu bar for ease of navigation of the study guide. Each section of the study guide is accessible through those links.
One note however; since the book itself is quite long, it would not be unusual that the study guide for it is quite large in size as well. Please excuse the poor formatting and lengthiness.
