Paperback. Condition: New. The legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table permeate our culture: we find them in novels, movie parodies, and even the American government. Yet beneath and before it all lies a deep literary tradition that has influenced history, art, and culture over the centuries.Examining the legend at its very source, An Introduction to British Arthurian Narrative covers over 400 years and discusses a broad range of romances, histories, and parodies written about King Arthur in Britain during the medieval period.The modern Anglo-American version of the Arthurian tale stems from Sir Thomas Malory's fifteenth-century compendium Le Morte D'Arthur, which was written at the end of the tale's first period of widespread popularity, which began in the early twelfth century. Susan Aronstein demonstrates that, as Arthur's transformation from a ""leader of battles"" in early histories, to a powerful chieftain in Welsh tales, and, finally, into England's ""once and future king,"" at every point, these tales reflected the ongoing contest for sovereignty over the island of Britain-and the very definition of ""British.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The United States of Medievalism contemplates the desires, dreams, and contradictions inherent in experiencing the Middle Ages in a nation that is so temporally, spatially, and at times politically removed from them. The European Middle Ages have long influenced the national landscape of the United States through the medieval sites that permeate its self-announced republican landscapes and cities. Today, American-built medievalisms continue to shape the nation's communities, collapsing the binaries between past and present, medieval and modern, European and American. The volume's chapters visit the nation's many medieval-inspired spaces, from Sherwood Forest in Texas to California's San Andreas Fault. Stops are made in New York City's churches, Boston's gardens, Philadelphia's Bryn Athyn Cathedral, Orlando's Magic Kingdom, Appalachian highways, Minnesota's Viking Villages, New Orleans's Mardi Gras, and the Las Vegas Strip. As the editors and their fellow essayists take the reader on this cross-country trip across the United States, they ponder the cultural work done by the nation's medievalized spaces. In its exploration of a seemingly distant period, this collection challenges the underexamined legacy of medievalism on the western side of the Atlantic. Full of intriguing case studies and reflections, this book is informative reading for anyone interested in the contemporary vestiges of the Middle Ages.…
