Medieval accounts of the historical Arthur, however, present a very different king from the romances that are widely studied today. Richard Moll examines a wide variety of historical texts to explore the relationship between the Arthurian chronicles and the romances. He demonstrates how competing and conflicting traditions interacted with one another, and how writers and readers of Arthurian texts negotiated a complex textual tradition."--Jacket.English literatureMiddle English, 1100-1500History and criticismGreat BritainHistoryTo 1066HistoriographySources.History.Criticism, interpretation, etc.Electronic books.
