Welcome to King Arthur Forever: The Matter of Britain Lives, a blog sponsored by The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain. Our mission, first laid out in 2000, is to embrace the full corpus of the Arthurian tradition and to promote study, discussion, and debate of representations of the legends in all their forms as produced from the Middle Ages through the contemporary moment (and beyond).
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

UPDATE Teaching the Arthurian Tradition (12/1/2024; Illinois Medieval Association Symposium 1/17/2025)
The deadline for the January 17 Illinois Medieval Association Symposium session, Teaching the Arthurian Tradition, has been extended to December 1. Please see the CFP below.
------------------------------
Deadline for Proposals: December 1
Session: 2:00 pm (Central) January 17, online via Zoom
The Arthurian Tradition(s) is often most students’ first and only exposure to the Middle Ages. Exposure often comes from films that students have seen: Fuqua’s King Arthur (2004), Ritchie’s King Arthur: Legend of the Sword (2017), and Lowery’s Green Knight (2021). What students learn from a course or unit on the Arthurian Tradition(s) is often very different from filmed depictions. This session seeks papers that explore issues, opportunities, and innovations in teaching the Arthurian Traditions(s). We welcome all aspects of teaching Arthuriana.
Submit full session proposals or paper proposals (no more than 300 words) to mwgeorge.51@gmail.com no later than December 1, 2024.
