White Merlin: A Modern Misconception about the Legendary Merlin
View through CrossRef
Abstract: Different from the predominantly white Merlins on both big and small screens today, Merlins in medieval legends are never described as having white skin. In fact, in various texts Merlin is specifically depicted as a dark-skinned character capable of making legendary accomplishments. The few Merlins of color onscreen have informed our understanding of Merlin as a legendary character in various ways, and more diverse representations of Merlin onscreen could help to dispel the misconception that the legendary Merlin is by default white.
