Description
Book Synopsis`[The series is an indispensable component of any historical or Arthurian library.' NOTES AND QUERIESThis latest issue of
Arthurian Literature continues the tradition of the journal in combining theoretical studies with editions of primary Arthurian texts. There is a special focus on Chrétien de Troyes, with articles considering his identity, providing a new reading of
Le Chevalier de la Charrete, and giving an account of a discovery of an important new fragment of the
First Continuation. Other essays deal with Glastonbury, at the heart of the English Arthurian legend;the Scottish treatment of the Arthur story in the Reformation period; and the
Morte Darthur in the context of fifteenth-century chivalric encyclopaedias. Contributors:
