Published in 1999, the ten essays in this collection identify and
examine reworkings of identifiable source texts from the medieval
or Renaissance periods. The reasons for the modern adaptations
depend variously on an individual author's personal perspectives,
the worldview of his or her society, and the individual's place in
it. The various chapters therefore address issues such as why a
particular model was chosen and how its retelling depends on the
modern author/auteur's misreading or rereading of medieval
chivalric conventions. This book compliments numerous existing
studies of medievalism in the Enlightenment and Victorian eras by
examining more recent adaptations of the much studied Arthurian
romances, but primarily extends the discussion on the nature of
revivals to other medieval or Renaissance chivalric texts,
especially the Carolingian cycle epic. The collection includes not
only literary retellings of medieval texts, but also some in
different media, such as theatre and cinema.
