- Norma Lorre Goodrich was the pen name of Norma Therese Falby, born in Huntington, Vermont. She graduated from the University of Vermont in 1938 and continued her studies at universities in France, where she lived for many years. In 1965, at age 48, she earned doctoral degrees in French and Roman philology from Columbia University. She became a prolific author and an Arthurian scholar known for her unconventional theory -- introduced in a 1986 book titled King Arthur -- that King Arthur was a real person, not a myth, and that he was Scottish, not English or Welsh. Dr. Goodrich was a professor of French, comparative literature, and writing for 45 years at the University of Southern California and the Claremont Colleges.
