Cambridge Companion To
The Arthurian Legend
£18.61
For more than a thousand years the adventures of King Arthur & his Knights of the Round Table have been retold across Europe. They have inspired some of the most important works of European literature particularly in the medieval period: the romances of Chretien de Troyes Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival Sir Gawain & the Green Knight & Malory's Le Morte d' Arthur. In the nineteenth century interest in the Arthurian legend revived with Tennyson Wagner & Twain.

With a map of Arthur's Britain a chronology of key texts & a guide to further reading this volume itself will contribute to the continuing fascination with the King & his many legends. ...
