Distinctly interdisciplinary, Kingship, Conquest, and Patria brings
together French and Welsh studies with literary and historical
analysis, genre study with questions of medieval colonialisms and
national writing. It treats eight centuries' worth of insular and
continental literature, placing the 12th- and 13th-century
development of Arthurian romance in a history of fraught, ambiguous
relations between Capetian France, Angevin England, and native
Wales. Overall, the book aims to contextualize how French Arthurian
romance and Welsh rhamant, despite being products of opposing
cultures in an age of conquest, collectively revise the figure of
King Arthur created by earlier insular tradition. At a time when
contemporary monarchies sought to curtail the autonomy of both
northern French and Welsh principalities, the literary image of
kingship pointedly declines in romance and rhamant, replaced by an
ideal of knightly independence. A focus on the romance portrait of
King Arthur is the culmination of this study: Part I provides a
survey of early British Arthurian material written in Latin and
Welsh; Part II presents the historical contexts in northern France
and Wales out of which the genre of Arthurian romance emerged; Part
III turns to literary and sociopolitical analyses of Chretien's
five romances and the three Welsh rhamantau.
