Through close reading of the text and examining illustrated Wigalois manuscripts, early print editions, and frescoes, Brown explores how ekphrasis structures the narrative, harmonizes potential conflicts in the text, and contributes to the construction of courtly identity. Imagining the Text demonstrates that the vibrant symbiosis of word and image is crucial to the poem’s sustained popularity for more than six hundred years, and contributes to the history of the book and to the study of medieval and modern modes of perception.Visualising the Middle Ages ;Volume 10.EkphrasisKnights and knighthood in literatureArthurian romancesHistory and criticismEkphrasis.Knights and knighthood in literature.Arthurian romancesHistory and criticism.831/.21Brown James H.1968-1717880MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815465703321Imagining the text4114473UNINA
