background, patronage, his influence on other writers, manuscripts
and editions of his work and, at the heart of the volume, major
essays on his themes, techniques and artistic achievements in each
of his compositions; the contributions, all from leading experts in
Chretien and related studies, have been commissioned especially for
this volume and are designed to remain accessible to studentswhile
also addressing specialists in Arthurian studies and Chretien de
Troyes. They reflect the most current critical and scholarly views
on one of the greatest of medieval authors. CONTRIBUTORS: JOHN W.
