This volume offers newly translated texts that exemplify the two
most important traditions of Arthurian literature in the Middle
Ages. Encompassing such key works such as Lawman's Brut and Wace's
Romance of Brut, written respectively in Middle English and Old
French, the Arthurian Epic Tradition depends on Geoffrey of
Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain, written in Latin. Many
modern readers are more familiar with Arthur and his fabled court
as the centrepiece of a massive Fictional Tradition, well
represented in the second part of this volume, including Chretien
de Troyes's Story of the Grail, The Quest of the Holy Grail, and
the Perlesvaus. These selections emphasise the connection between
secular and religious understandings of chivalry that is the most
distinctive quality of medieval Arthurian romance. Useful as a
classroom text, the volume provides material for a semester's worth
of study.
