To many, Roger Sherman Loomis was the grandfather of modern Arthurian scholarship. While most of his ideas have been disproved or have become outdated, his works had a great impact on the scholarship of his day. Some of his collections are still the only reference sources of their kind.

 Celtic Myth and Arthurian Romance

A myth-ritualist, Loomis sees the origins of the Arthurian tradition in rituals inspired by Celtic mythology.
 Paperback (1994)

 Grail: From Celtic Myth to Christian Symbol

While much of Loomis's hypothesis about the development of the Grail cycle has been called into question, this book had a tremendous impact on the intellectual world of his day. Many of the notions expressed by Arthurian scholars today were expressed here for the first time, though with different chains of reasoning to support them.

 Medieval Romances

Loomis includes some commentary in this collection of medieval legends, which he co-edited with Laura Hibbard Loomis.
 Paperback (1957)
