Essays examining a variety of aspects of important Arthurian poem.
The present volume grew from a nucleus of four papers given at the
Twelfth International Arthurian Conference at Regensburg in 1971 on
the alliterative Morte Arthure, increasingly recognised as one of
the great masterpiecesof medieval English literature. These
lectures sought to reappraise the poem and its somewhat enigmatic
historical and cultural context, and are presented here in a much
revised and expanded form. Unlike most volumes of theiskind, the
contributions form an integrated whole, the result of lengthy
discussions among the collaborating scholars over the past year.
The topics range from the poem's place among chronicles and
Arthurian romances to the date, audience and attitude to contempary
problems, notably that of war. pecific fields such as heraldry and
laments for the dead are examined in detail, while the linguistic
structure of the poem is the subject of two essays.
