This is the first comprehensive book on the Arthurian legend in
medieval and Renaissance Italy since Edmund Gardner's 1930 The
Arthurian Legend in Italian Literature. Arthurian material reached
all levels of Italian society, from princely courts with their
luxury books and frescoed palaces, to the merchant classes and even
popular audiences in the piazza, which enjoyed shorter retellings
in verse and prose. Unique assemblages emerge on Italian soil, such
as the Compilation of Rustichello da Pisa or the innovative Tavola
Ritonda, in versions made for both Tuscany and the Po Valley.
Chapters examine the transmission of the French romances across
Italy; reworkings in various Italian regional dialects; the textual
relations of the prose Tristan; narrative structures employed by
Italian writers; later ottava rima poetic versions in the new
medium of printed books; the Arthurian-themed art of the Middle
Ages and Renaissance; and more. The Arthur of the Italians offers a
rich corpus of new criticism by scholars who have brought the
Italian Arthurian material back into critical conversation.
