For the most comprehensive, overall survey of anything to do with King Arthur and Arthurian legend, see "The New Arthurian Encyclopedia" edited by Norris J. Lacy. Also excellent are "The World of King Arthur" by Christopher Snyder, which is an overview, and "The Reign of Arthur" by Christopher Gildow, which in two parts covers both the historical evidence and the literature.
