This collection provides an innovative and wide-ranging
introduction to the world of Arthur by looking beyond the canonical
texts and themes, taking instead a transversal perspective on the
Arthurian narrative. Together, its thirty-four chapters explore the
continuities that make the material recognizable from one century
to another, as well as transformations specific to particular times
and places, revealing the astonishing variety of adaptations that
have made the Arthurian story popular in large parts of the world.
Divided into four parts-The World of Arthur in the British Isles,
The European World of Arthur, The Material World of Arthur, and The
Transversal World of Arthur - the volume tracks the legend's
movement across temporal, geographical, and material boundaries.
Broadly chronological, each part views the unfolding Arthurian
story through its own lens, while temporal and geographical
overlaps between the sections underscore the proximity of these
developments in the legend's history. Ranging from early Latin
chronicles and Welsh poetry to twenty-first century anime and
political conspiracies, this comprehensive and illuminating book
will be of interest to anyone researching Arthurian literature or
tracing the evolution of medievalism through literature, the visual
arts, and popular culture.
