This book reveals the breadth and depth of women's engagements with
Arthurian romance in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries. Tracing the variety of women's responses to the medieval
revival through Gothic literature, travel writing, scholarship, and
decorative gift books, it argues that differences in the kinds of
Arthurian materials read by and prepared for women produced a
distinct female tradition in Arthurian writing. Examining the
Arthurian interests of the best-selling female poets of the day,
Felicia Hemans and Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and uncovering those
of many of their contemporaries, the Arthurian myth in the Romantic
period is a vibrant location for debates about the function of
romance, the role of the imagination, and women's place in literary
history.
