About
I have been teaching at the collegiate level since 1993, and have taught a variety of classes, including Freshman English, British literature surveys, world literature surveys, medieval and Renaissance literature, Arthurian literature, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Tolkien, and literary criticism.
At the same time, I have also been working on a series of novels, called collectively the Matter of Britain. The first of these, "The Hawk and the Wolf," is currently available; I have finished two others, and have four more drafted.
“Intriguing and original . . . myth, legend, romance, and history are inextricably entwined” (Tom Shippey, Arthuriana)
“Drawing simultaneously from history and legend, Mark Adderley skillfully weaves realistic detail into the Arthurian mythos. His characters inhabit a very tangible ancient world, where magic must compete with the mud and smoke of the everyday. He gives us a young, struggling Merlin whose travels around the British Isles provide us tantalizing glimpses of the mature wizard he’ll become. The result should prove satisfying for both scholars of Arthuriana and lovers of fantasy literature.” (Nathaniel Williams, AboutSF, University of Kansas)
“A worthy addition to the Arthurian Canon” (Bill Tolliver, Renditions of Camelot)
