An invaluable history of the figure of King Arthur,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: King Arthur: A Casebook (Arthurian Characters and Themes) (Kindle Edition)
The first volume of the Arthurian Characters and Themes series, KING ARTHUR: A CASEBOOK (1996, pb. 2001) surveys the representation of King Arthur in literature and art from the Middle Ages to the 1990s. Most of the essays are reprinted from earlier publications, and many appear here in English translations for the first time. The essays are accessible and translations are provided for quotations from foreign languages. There is no index.
The collection opens with an exhaustive history of Arthur's career in art and literature, though nothing on film/tv (an oversight corrected in later volumes of the series). The next essay looks at appoaches to the historical Arthur, while the renmainder are focused on the Arthur of legend. Complete contents as follows: Introduction and Select Bibliography / Edward Donald Kennedy Looking for Arthur / Marylyn Jackson Parins DUX BELLORUM, REX MILITUM / ROI FAINÉANT: The Transformation of Arthur in the Twelfth Century / Barbara N.

MacRae (reprint) King Arthur and Fortuna / Karl Josef Höltgen (reprint; new in English) Malory's King Mark and King Arthur / Edward Donald Kennedy (reprint) King Arthur in the Scottish Chronicles / Karl Heinz Göller (reprint; new in English) Polydore Vergil and John Leland on King Arthur: The Battle of the Books / James P. Carley (reprint) The Arthurs of the FAERIE QUEENE / Merritt Y. Hughes (reprint) The Female King: Tennyson's Arthurian Apocalypse / Elliot L.
