ENG-213 Intro to Arthurian Literature
This course surveys changing literary responses
to the legend of King Arthur, from its misty
historical origins in early medieval Britain,
through the flowering of Arthurian romance in the
High Middle Ages, to various post-Romantic
re-imaginings of the Arthurian material. We will
ask, among other things, why this material
retained its tenacious hold on the Western
European (and, later, the American) imagination,
and especially how authors continued to find new
uses for stories long separated from their
originating cultural conditions.(Introduction to
