New Directions in Arthurian Studies

"The eleven essays presented in this volume, by leading scholars, aim to bring Arthurian studies into the twenty-first century. They begin with an overview of the field, suggesting directions which the subject should take in the future. The other articles present innovative approaches, overviews of specific areas of Arthurian studies, and new ways of considering Arthurian material; they range over Malory, Latin Arthurian literature, Gawain and the Green Knight, Merlin in the twenty-first century, Tennyson's Idylls, Arthur in African-American culture, current trends in criticism, Arthurian fiction, and Arthurian film."--BOOK JACKET.
