This book contains a collection of essays dealing with different
re-workings of the Arthurian myth. The papers trace the Arthurian
myth, inquiring into its origins in Ancient Rome, and pointing out
influences from the Dark Ages up to the present. Reference is made
to oral tradition, visual narrative and iconic messages in
manuscript illumination, the myth in medieval chivalry and the
decay of the latter. Parallelisms are drawn with Christian figures
and beliefs, with Irish literature and Gaelic mythology, and with
novels and films. The methodological approaches and points of view
show great diversity: from an inquiry into the historical sources
of the myth, to comparative literature, inter-textuality, feminist
criticism, analysis of cinema up to a refreshing practical
classroom exercise.
