The Fall of Kings and Princes: Structure and Destruction in Arthurian Tragedy (Figurae: Reading Medieval Culture) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Guerin's study offers a provocative and convincing reappraisal of the entire Arthurian tradition. It examines the role of troubled genealogy in the interpretation of several of the most enigmatic Arthurian texts, and the consequences of this troubled generation for the difficult movement toward an articulation of tragedy, a concept generally believed to be absent from medieval thinking.
