Arthurian Literature has established its position as the home for a
great diversity of new research into Arthurian matters. It delivers
fascinating material across genres, periods, and theoretical
issues. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT The studies collected in this
volume demonstrate the enduring vitality of the Arthurian legend in
a wide range of places, times and media. Chretien's Conte du Graal
features first in a study of the poem's place in its Anglo-Norman
context, followed by four essays on Malory's Morte Darthur. Two of
these deal with the significance of wounds and wounding in Malory's
text, while the third explores the problematic aspects of sleep and
the "slepynge knight" in that same romance. The fourth considers
"transformative female corpses" as, quite literally, the embodiment
of critical comment on the chivalric community in the Morte
Darthur. There follow two studies of the Arthurian legend captured
in material objects: the first concerns the early twelfth-century
images on a marble column from the cathedral at Santiago de
Compostela, the second a twentieth-century tapestry created by Lady
Trevelyan for the family home at Wallington Hall. The volume closes
with an essay that brings us into the twenty-first century, with an
assessment of Kaamelott, an irreverent French Pythonesque
television series. ElizabethArchibald is Professor of English
Studies at Durham University, and Principal of St Cuthbert's
Society; David F. Johnson is Professor of English at Florida State
University, Tallahassee. Contributors: Karen Cherewatuk,Tara
