Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renowned and illustrious tales of King Arthur, his knights and the Round Table pervade all European vernaculars, as well as the Latin tradition. Arthurian narrative material, which had originally been transmitted in oral culture, began to be inscribed regularly in the twelfth century, developing from (pseudo-)historical beginnings in the Latin chronicles of "historians" such as Geoffrey of Monmouth into masterful literary works like the romances of Chrétien de Troyes. Evidently a big hit, Arthur found himself being swiftly translated, adapted and integrated into the literary traditions of almost every European vernacular during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This Handbook seeks to showcase the European character of Arthurian romance both past and present. By working across national philological boundaries, which in the past have tended to segregate the study of Arthurian romance according to language, as well as by exploring primary texts from different vernaculars and the Latin tradition in conjunction with recent theoretical concepts and approaches, this Handbook brings together a pioneering and more complete view of the specifically European context of Arthurian romance, and promotes the more connected study of Arthurian literature across the entirety of its European context.

Download or read book The Arthur of the English written by W R J Barron and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2020-11-15 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first comprehensive treatment of Arthurian literature in the English language up until the end of the Middle Ages is now available for the first time in paperback. English people think of Arthur as their own – stamped on the landscape in scores of place-names, echoed in the names of princes even today. Yet some would say the English were the historical Arthur’s bitterest enemies and usurpers of his heritage. The process by which Arthurian legends have become an important part of England’s cultural heritage is traced in this book. Previous studies have concentrated on the handful of chivalric romances, which have given the impression that Arthur is a hero of romantic escapism. This study seeks to provide a more comprehensive and insightful look at the English Arthurian legends and how they evolved. It focuses primarily upon the literary aspects of Arthurian legend, but it also makes some important political and social observations.

Download or read book The Knight of the Two Swords written by Ross Gilbert Arthur and published by Gainesville : University Press of Florida. This book was released on 1996 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The portrayal of women in this romance is particularly intriguing and should provoke animated discussions of medieval women's roles. . . . The existence of this translation should incite scholars to investigate the romance more thoroughly."--Wendy Pfeffer, University of Louisville "Arthur and Corbett are the first to look seriously at this poem for almost a century. Because of their translation, it will be studied by scholars and taught in the classroom. . . . The translation . . . is a gem. Elegant, lively, witty, eminently readable, it captures perfectly the spirit of the original."--William Calin, University of Florida The first translation into English of this 13th-century French epic poem of adventure and romance in King Arthur's court should have appeal far beyond its core reference market. It adds another--French--dimension to the Arthurian legend, and it introduces a "lost" text to a late-20th-century audience of scholars and lay readers. Some specialists in Old French may be aware of the existence of the poem but unfamiliar with its contents. The mere existence of a translation will be sufficient to provoke a spate of articles and critical studies. Li Chevaliers as deus Espees is an excellent example of the quintessential medieval European genre, the "adventure romance." It makes creative use of the set of motifs and themes common to the genre, and extends their range in a way that provokes readers to consider a variety of questions concerning the nature of medieval knighthood, the duties and privileges of knights and their lords, and the roles open to women in a feudal society. As an imaginative poem filled with scenes of medieval life, as a lively exponent of the Arthurian genre, or as reflection of the aristocratic mentality of the landed class in 13th-century France, The Knight of the Two Swords simply deserves to be better known; a reading of it will amply repay the curious student, the literary scholar, and the lover of medieval culture. In addition to its expected audience of scholars and teachers of Old French literature, this book will appeal to general readers fascinated by everything medieval or Arthurian. Ross G. Arthur is professor of humanities at York University in Ontario. He is the author of Medieval Sign Theory and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the translator of Three Arthurian Romances from Medieval France: Caradoc, The Knight with the Sword, The Perilous Graveyard, Amadas and Ydoine, and Jaufre: A Proven�al Arthurian Romance. Noel L. Corbett is associate professor of French at York University in Ontario, Canada. He is the editor of Vie de Saint Louis and the author of Langue et identit�.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems in this collection will give the reader an appreciation of both the distinctiveness and the variety of the medieval English Arthurian tradition and highlight some of this important chapter in Arthurian legend literature. The Middle English stories are different in style and structure to the later French romances, composed in poetic forms that derive from native English traditions. The Stanzaic Morte Arthur is the earliest version of the Lancelot-Guinevere story in English; The Awyntas off Arthure at the Terne Wathelyn is a serious moral poem while the story of the Avowing is a tail-rhyme romance. The Wedding of Sir Gawain and Dame Ragnell is a strongly folkloric variation of Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s Tale and Syre Gawene and the Carle of Carlyle is an alternative version of the testing of Gawain. Originally published in 1991, the translator gives an introduction to each poem as well as a general introduction about the development of the Arthurian poetic tradition.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: "Historical Linguistics and Medieval English Studies" Proseminar "King Arthur in Medieval England", 17 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: In King Arthur's court represented in Arthurian literature, women play a centrally important role. Not only do they often influence the heroes of such stories in many ways, they even exert a strong influence on the events in the story and thus on the storyline itself. In the following seminar paper I will elaborate on the roles of women in Arthurian literature. On that account I will concentrate on the medieval romance The Knight with the Lion (Yvain) by the French romance writer Chrétien de Troyes as well as on the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. In these two pieces of Arthurian literature, the reader encounters different types of women. In the following, I will take a closer look at these women.

This edition is designed to make the poem, in its original Middle English, accessible to students and general readers.

Extensive marginal glossing of difficult words, thorough on-page explanatory notes, and a comprehensive glossary offer further support for readers. The historical appendices include other examples of medieval romance from France and Britain.
