Continuing its policy of publishing extended explorations of
Arthurian subjects, this eighth volume of Arthurian Literature
contains four articles. Elizabeth Archibald addresses the reasons
for the insertion of the story of Mordred's incestuous birth into
many versions of the Arthurian legend (including Malory's) from the
early 13th century on, and follows its development from the Vulgate
Cycle to later Arthurian narratives. The use of irony to point up
aspects of the Lancelot-Guinevere relationship in the prologue to
Le Chavalier de la Charrete is explored by Jan Janssens. The early
13th-century Romance of Fergus is introduced and translated by
D.D.R. Owen, who finds it of special interest not just because of
its uniquely Scottish setting, but also because its use of parody
foreshadows later medieval comedy; Scottish concerns also figure in
Edward Donald Kennedy's discussion of the 15th-century chronicler
John Hardyng's use of the story of Galahad's grail quest, and the
changes he made.
