The renowned and illustrious tales of King Arthur, his knights and
the Round Table pervade all European vernaculars, as well as the
Latin tradition. Arthurian narrative material, which had originally
been transmitted in oral culture, began to be inscribed regularly
in the twelfth century, developing from (pseudo-)historical
beginnings in the Latin chronicles of "historians" such as Geoffrey
of Monmouth into masterful literary works like the romances of
Chretien de Troyes. Evidently a big hit, Arthur found himself being
swiftly translated, adapted and integrated into the literary
traditions of almost every European vernacular during the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. This Handbook seeks to
showcase the European character of Arthurian romance both past and
present. By working across national philological boundaries, which
in the past have tended to segregate the study of Arthurian romance
according to language, as well as by exploring primary texts from
different vernaculars and the Latin tradition in conjunction with
recent theoretical concepts and approaches, this Handbook brings
together a pioneering and more complete view of the specifically
European context of Arthurian romance, and promotes the more
connected study of Arthurian literature across the entirety of its
European context.
