Medieval Romance, Arthurian Literature [EPUB ebook] 
Essays in Honour of Elizabeth Archibald

Two crucial genres of medieval literature are studied in this outstanding collection.


The essays in this volume honour the distinguished career of Professor Elizabeth Archibald. They explore two areas that her scholarship has done so much to illuminate: medieval romance, and Arthurian literature. Several chapters examine individual romances, including
Emar
é,
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the
Roman de Silence. Others focus on wider concerns in romances and related works in Middle English, Latin, French, German and Icelandic, from a variety of perspectives. Later chapters consider Arthurian material, with a particular emphasis on hitherto unexamined aspects of Malory’s
Morte Darthur. It thus, fittingly, reflects the range of linguistic and literary expertise that Professor Archibald has brought to these fields.
