The Development of Arthurian Romance

Уведоми ме, когато книгата е добавена

Stimulating and masterly study examines the evolution of the great mass of fiction surrounding the Arthurian legend in Western literature — from Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain and the collection of Welsh tales known as The Mabinogion, to Chrétien de Troyes' Arthurian stories, the Parzival of Wolfram von Eschenbach, and such English masterpieces as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Le Morte d'Arthur. Painstakingly researched and brimming with scholarly insight, this highly readable and entertaining work will be a favorite with general audiences as well as scholars and students of the Arthurian legend.

the geography of the Lady of the Fountain and Peredur evinces none of that precise knowledge of Wales and its borders as do the two tales previously discussed

We have already met Twrch Trwyth as the boar Troit in Nennius’s list of mirabilia; and Arthur’s hunting of the beast from its lair in Ireland
