Medieval Romance Arthurian Literature

The essays in this volume honour the distinguished career of Professor Elizabeth Archibald. They explore two areas that her scholarship has done so much to illuminate: medieval romance and Arthurian literature. Several chapters examine individual romances including <i>Emaré</i> <i>Sir Gawain and the Green Knight </i>and the <i>Roman de Silence</i>. Others focus on wider concerns in romances and related works in Middle English Latin French German and Icelandic from a variety of perspectives. Later chapters consider Arthurian material with a particular emphasis on hitherto unexamined aspects of Malory's <i>Morte Darthur. </i>It thus fittingly reflects the range of linguistic and literary expertise that Professor Archibald has brought to these fields.
