Media Reviews
Offers up some very fine analyses of the critical traditions of Arthurian history, literature, art and cinema. The impact of this book will be felt throughout the field of Arthurian studies and resonate for many years to some.[...]This book is a triumph of research and criticism, and should be required reading for all Arthurian scholars, no matter their field or sub-speciality. * JOURNAL OF ENGLISH AND GERMANIC PHILOLOGY *
The list of contributors reads as a who's who of contemporary Arthurian scholarship, and their surveys of the scholarship in their various fields are without exception clear and to-the-point, with the undergraduate or novice research student in mind. * FRENCH STUDIES *
A most useful anthology of essays that survey recent Arthurian scholarship. * MEDIUM AEVUM *
[An] excellent collection. [...] Contains so much of value that it is indispensable for anyone interested in the Arthurian legends. Masterful in the selection of topics and in the coverage of complex fields. [...] Should be essential reading for students and scholars of the Arthurian tradition. * ARTHURIANA *
