Encompassing such key works such as Lawman's \u003ci\u003eBrut\u003c\/i\u003e and Wace's \u003ci\u003eRomance of Brut\u003c\/i\u003e, written in Middle English and Old French, respectively, the Arthurian Epic Tradition depends on Geoffrey of Monmouth's \u003ci\u003eHistory of the Kings of Britain\u003c\/i\u003e, written in Latin. Many modern readers are more familiar with Arthur and his fabled court as the centerpiece of a massive fictional tradition, well represented in the second part of this volume, including Chretien de Troyes's \u003ci\u003eStory of the Grail, The Quest of the Holy Grail\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003ePerlesvaus\u003c\/i\u003e. These selections emphasize the connection between secular and religious understandings of chivalry that is the most distinctive quality of medieval Arthurian romance. Useful as a classroom text, the volume provides material for a semester's worth of study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e   Instructors considering this book for use in a course may  request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54187236819288,"sku":null,"price":27.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786447794_ad243398-ff63-4d3b-9d82-1afa61567b7a.jpg?v=1764506738","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/medieval-arthurian-epic-and-romance-eight-new-translations","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
