Originally published in 1988, this volume contains papers from, and
commissioned after, "The Passing of Arthur", a conference on
Medieval and Renaissance Studies in November 1986. No Arthurian
story is experienced without some foreknowledge of its end, which
the text acknowledges through a complex range of methods. This
collection takes this as its point of origin, suggesting that all
such narratives concern the passing of Arthur, even indirectly, so
the chapters not only look at the death of Arthur but the passing
on and development of the Arthurian literature. The figure of
Arthur and the Round Table continues to fascinate contemporary
readers. This interesting collection presents a wide range of
Arthurian studies approaches representing some of the vast
scholarship on the genre.

When Heidi, a five-year-old orphan, is dumped on her reclusive
grandfather who lives on a remote mountainside above a Swiss
village, he is none too pleased by her arrival. But Heidi quickly
wins him over with her cheerful disposition and kindness, and
thoroughly enjoys her new life, spending the summer days roaming
the Alpine pastures with young Peter the goatherd. Three years
later, this rural idyll is cruelly interrupted when her aunt
fetches Heidi away to the city as a hired companion for Clara, a
rich girl who is disabled. Clara adores her new friend, but the
family's strict housekeeper tries to repress Heidi's high spirits
and she becomes ill, pining for her mountain home. The resolution
of Heidi's dilemma transforms the lives of everyone around her and
has entranced readers for generations with its vision of the joys
of country life and the power of love and friendship.
