Arthurian Literature has established its position as the home for a
great diversity of new research into Arthurian matters. It delivers
fascinating material across genres, periods, and theoretical
issues. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT The influence and significance of
the legend of Arthur are fully demonstrated by the subject matter
and time-span of articles here, ranging from a mid twelfth-century
Latin vita of the Welsh saint Dyfrig to the early modernArthur of
the Dutch. Topics addressed include the reasons for Edward III's
abandonment of the Order of the Round Table; the 1368 relocation of
Arthur's tomb at Glastonbury Abbey; the evidence for our knowledge
of the French manuscript sources for Malory's first tale, in
particular the Suite du Merlin; and the central role played by
Cornwall in Malory's literary worldview. Meanwhile, a survey of the
pan-European aspects of medieval Arthurian literature, considering
key characters in both familiar and less familiar languages such as
Old Norse and Hebrew, further outlines its popularity and impact.
