The Changing Face of Arthurian Romance

These essays on Arthurian prose romances published as a tribute to Cedric E. Pickford reflect their development and the reshaping of the romances in response to changing taste and fashion from the death of Chrétien de Troyes to the end of the medieval period in England. Topics include the question of religious influences; the transition of Arthurian material to foreign contexts; and the fortunes of the prose romance in England focusing on the Prose 'Merlin' and Malory.
