Stonehenge - Region 0

Archaeologists can tell us when and how this great monument was built, but not what it was supposed to be, or do: an Arthurian Round Table? A megalithic computer? Its literary interest lies in its roots, which it shares with many of the strands in the Arthurian romances, the tales of Chaucer, the Celtic strains in Shakespeare. Each June, some 60,000 people gather at Stonehenge to celebrate the summer solstice: geologists, witches, sun worshipers, and passerby - the same intellectual mix that provided the audience for English literature its dawning.
