New editor, new directions: the series broadens its scope to
encompass European literatures other than French and English;
still, however, "an indispensable component of any historical or
Arthurian library". NOTES AND QUERIES This new volume of Arthurian
Literature, the first under its new editor Keith Busby, is devoted
to the Roman van Walewein(The Romance of Walewein [Gawain]) by
Penninc and Pieter Vostaert, an undisputed gem of Middle Dutch
literature which has recently become accessible to an
English-speaking audience through translation. Essentially a
fairy-tale written into Arthurian romance, it presents a Gawain
quite different to the man found in the English Sir Gawain and the
Green Knightor the French Gauvain. Expert readings of the Walewein,
especially commissioned and collected by BART BESAMUSCA and ERIK
KOOPERof the University of Utrecht are provided by a group of
renowned scholars, contributing to the on-going critical appraisal
of the Walewein. KEITH BUSBY is George Lynn Cross Research
Professor at the Center for Medieval and Renaissane Studies,
University of Oklahoma. Contributors: BART BESAMUSCA, ERIK KOOPER,
WALTER HAUG, DOUGLAS KELLY, NORRIS J. LACY, MATHIAS MEYER, AD
PUTTER, FELICITY RIDDY, THEA SUMMERFIELD, JANE H.M. TAYLOR, BART
VELDHOEN, NORBERT VOORWINDEN, LORI WALTERS
