The central figure of medieval Romance, King Arthur has captivated literary imaginations from the Middle Ages to the present. This book includes extended entries on 34 writers in the Arthurian tradition. Arranged chronologically and written by expert contributors, the entries trace the pervasive influence of Arthurian legend from the Middle Ages to the present.The entries cover writers from Gildas, the sixth-century monk who first mentioned one of Arthur's battles, and Geoffrey of Monmouth, who wrote the first extensive account of Arthur's supposed deeds, via later medieval writers such as Boccaccio and Chaucer, to writers who reworked the legend for modern audiences, such as Mark Twain and Marion Zimmer Bradley. Each entry provides biographical information, a discussion of the writer's use of Arthurian legend and contribution to the Arthurian literary tradition, and a bibliography of primary and secondary material. The volume begins with an introductory overview and closes with a discussion of Arthurian lore in art, along with suggestions for further reading. Readers will gain a better understanding of the Middle Ages and the lasting significance of the medieval world for contemporary culture.
