Sommario/riassunto |
|
A wide range of Arthurian material is discussed here, reflecting its diversity, and enduring vitality. Geoffrey of Monmouth's best-selling <I>Historia regum Britannie</I> is discussed in the context of Geoffrey's reception in Wales and the relationship between Latin and Welsh literary culture. Two essays deal with the Middle English <I>Ywain and Gawain</I>: the first offers a comparative study of the Middle English poem alongside Chrétien's <I>Yvain</I> and the Welsh <I>Owein</I>, while the second considers <I>Ywain and Gawain</I> with the Alliterative <I>Morte Arthure</I> in their northern English cultural and political context, the world of the Percys and the Nevilles.

The volume is completed with a unique and little-known medieval Greek Arthurian poem, presented in facing-page edition and modern English translation.<BR><BR> Elizabeth Archibald is Professor of English Studies at Durham University, and Principal of St Cuthbert's Society; David F.
