To me, methought, who waited with a crowd,
There came a bark that, blowing forward, bore
King Arthur, like a modern gentleman
Of stateliest port; and all the people cried,
"Arthur is come again: he cannot die."

"Morte d'Arthur" (1842)
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

As a never-ending source of inspiration, the Middle Ages has been an indelible presence in many societies for centuries. Its rich history has captured creative minds who have re-told medieval narratives through words and images. Author of the New York Times bestselling series Camelot Rising, Kiersten White, and manuscripts curator Larisa Grollemond draw connections between medieval illuminated manuscripts and White’s adaptation and reinterpretation of medieval literature for young adult audiences—especially stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. White and Grollemond discuss why medieval tales and imagery continue to have such resonance for contemporary audiences.
