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

DESCRIPTION

"Delivers fascinating material across genres, periods, and theoretical issues." TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

This volume is a special issue dedicated to Professor Elizabeth Archibald, who has had such an impact on, and made so many significant contributions to, the field of Arthurian Studies. It maintains its tradition of diverse approaches to the Arthurian tradition - albeit on this occasion with a particular focus on Malory, appropriately reflecting one of Professor Archibald's main interests.

It starts with the essay awarded this year's D.S. Brewer Prize for a contribution by an early career scholar, which considers the little-known debt owed by early modern sailors to Arthurian knighthood and pageantry. The essays that follow begin with a wide-ranging account of manuscript decorations and annotations in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia, before turning to the Evil Custom trope in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Further contributions explore the formalities of requests and conditions in Malory's '"Tale of Gareth", emotional excess and magical transformation in several scenes across the Morte Darthur, tensions between public and private and self and identity in Malory's "Sankgreal", and friction between the (external and imposed) law and (internal and subjective but honourable) code of chivalry, especially apparent in Malory's final Tales. The last article examines the ways in which Mordred's origins in modern Arthurian fiction build on Malory's false, or forgotten, promise to relate Mordred's upbringing. The volume closes with a short tribute to Elizabeth Archibald, highlighting her leadership in the field and her encouragement of scholarly collaboration and community.

DESCRIPTION

Arthurian Literature has established its position as the home for a great diversity of new research into Arthurian matters. It delivers fascinating material across genres, periods, and theoretical issues. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT


This issue offers stimulating studies of a wide range of Arthurian texts and authors, from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century, among which is the first winner of the Derek Brewer Essay Prize, awarded to a fascinating exploration of Ragnelle's strangeness in The Weddyng of Syr Gawen and Dame Ragnelle. It includes an exploration of Irish and Welsh cognates and possible sources for Merlin; Bakhtinian analysis of Geoffrey of Monmouth's playful discourse; and an account of the transmission of Geoffrey's text into Old Icelandic. In the Middle English tradition, there is an investigation of material Arthuriana in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, followed by explorations of shame in Malory's Morte Darthur. The post-medieval articles see one paper devoted to the paratexts of sixteenth-century French Arthurian publishers; one to eighteenth-century Arthuriana; and one to a range of nineteenth-century rewritings of the virginity of Galahad and Percival's Sister. Two Notes close this volume: one on Geoffrey's Vita Merlini and a possible Irish source, and one on a likely source for Malory's linking of Trystram with the Book of Hunting and Hawking in an early form of The Book of St Albans.

DESCRIPTION

The continued influence and significance of the legend of Arthur are demonstrated by the articles collected in this volume.


The rich vitality of both the Arthurian material itself and the scholarship devoted to it is manifested in this volume. It begins with an interdisciplinary study of swords belonging to Arthurian and other heroes and of the smiths who made them, assessed both in their literary contexts and in "historical" references to their existence as heroic relics. Two essays then consider the use of Arthurian material for political purposes: a discussion of Caradog's Vita Gildae throws light on the complex attitudes to Arthur of contemporaries of Geoffrey of Monmouth in a time of political turmoil in England, and an investigation into borrowings from Geoffrey's Historia in a chronicle of Anglo-Scottish relations in the time of Edward I, a well-known admirer of the Arthurian legend, argues that they would have appealed to the clerical élite. Romance motifs link the subsequent pieces: women and their friendships in Ywain and Gawain, the only known close English adaptation of a romance by Chrétien, and the mixture of sacred and secular in The Turke and Gawain, with fascinating alchemical parallels for a puzzling beheading episode. This is followed by a discussion of the views on native and foreign sources of three sixteenth-century defenders of Arthur, John Leland, John Prise and Humphrey Llwyd, and their responses to the criticisms of Polydore Vergil. In twentieth-century reception history, John Steinbeck was an ardent Arthurian enthusiast: an essay looks at the significance of his annotations to his copy of Malory as he worked on his adaptation, The Acts of King Arthur and his Noble Knights. The volume moves to even more recent territory with an exploration of the adaptations of Malory and other Arthurian writers that occur in the comic books by Geoff Johns about Arthur Curry, aka Aquaman, King of Atlantis. The book is completed by a reprint of a classic essay by Norris Lacy on the absence and presence of the Grail in Arthurian texts from the twelfth century on.

CFP Tradition and Innovation in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Conference (4/20/2024; Nancy, France/hybrid 11/21-22/2024)

CFP: Tradition and Innovation in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight


Source: https://medievalisms.org/cfp-tradition-and-innovation-in-sir-gawain-and-the-green-knight/


We are pleased to announce a call for papers for an upcoming conference on “Tradition and Innovation in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” to be held in Nancy (France) on 21-22 November 2024. This conference will be held in hybrid mode.

Conference Theme: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight has captivated readers for centuries with its complex narrative, moral dilemmas, and poetic excellence. The conference seeks to explore the dynamic interplay between tradition and innovation within the text, examining how the poem, but also the works derived from it and the scholarship devoted to it, draw upon established traditions while introducing novel elements.

The first axis of our inquiry focuses on the poem itself. While it is steeped in the traditions of Arthurian romance and Middle English poetry, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight departs from them and frustrates expectations in significant ways, both in terms of its content and its form. This exploration aims to shed light on the creative ways in which Sir Gawain and the Green Knight navigates established literary norms, both adhering to tradition and introducing innovative elements within its narrative structure and thematic content.

The second axis of our inquiry focuses on the many works inspired by Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This includes rewritings, translations, and visual interpretations that grapple with the tension between fidelity to the original and the impulse to reimagine the narrative within contemporary contexts. From modern language adaptations to artistic representations, we seek to understand how the poem’s essence endures through the transformative lens of subsequent generations.

We invite proposals for individual papers (20 minutes). Please submit abstracts (250-300 words) along with a brief bio to Colette.Stevanovitch@univ-lorraine.fr by 20 April. Include your name, institutional affiliation, contact information, and any audiovisual requirements.

◄ For Immediate Release ►





Visualizing Camelot


An Exhibition from the Collection of Drs. Alan Lupack and Barbara Tepa Lupack


At the University of Rochester


Visualizing Camelot, a University of Rochester River Campus Libraries exhibition from the collection of Drs. Alan Lupack and Barbara Tepa Lupack, explores the ongoing appeal of the Arthurian legends in England and America. The exhibition—which opened on March 7, 2024, with remarks from the Lupacks, a reception, and a tour of the exhibition—reveals the diverse ways that the stories of Camelot have been imagined and visualized, both in high culture (paintings, drawings, illustrated books) and in popular culture (film, toys, games, comic books, cartoons, dishware, product names, business logos, etc.). The exhibition, which includes more than 350 items (many of them unique), runs from the first to the fourth floor of Rush Rhees (from the Friedlander Lobby to Rare Books, Special Collections, and Preservation and to the Robbins Library). Visualizing Camelot is free and open to all, and a wide array of programming relating to the exhibition is planned throughout 2024.

Among the opening week’s events was a presentation by Dr. Kevin Whetter, Acadia University, on “Why Are There So Few Illustrations in Mediaeval English Arthurian Manuscripts? The Non-Visual Camelot.” 

Upcoming spring events include a five-film Arthurian Film Series hosted by the Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theatre in collaboration with the exhibition. That series will include A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court (1949), on April 6; Knights of the Round Table (1953), on April; 11; The Sword in the Stone (1963), on April 19; Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), on April 25; and Excalibur (1983), on May 5. For more information on the series, please go to Dryden Theatre | George Eastman Museum


Upcoming next month is a presentation by Dr. Kevin J. Harty, La Salle University, on April 19. Dr. Harty’s topic is “James Bond, A Grifter, A Video Avatar, and a Shark Walk into King Arthur’s Court: The Ever-Expanding Canon of Cinema Arthuriana.” The presentation will also be livestreamed. If interested, please register at the following link:

(or contact Dr. Anna Siebach-Larsen at annasiebachlarsen@rochester.edu.)

A digital exhibit Visualizing Camelot and an exhibition catalogue will follow by the end of April. A host of other activities and events are scheduled for summer and fall, 2024.

We hope that you will join us, in person or on-line, to tour Visiting Camelot and to participate in some of the exhibition events.

Out Now - Roman de Brut in Oxford Worlds Classics Edition


Roman de Brut

Wace
Translated by Glyn S. Burgess and with an Introduction and Notes by Jean Blacker

Full details from the publisher's website at https://global.oup.com/academic/product/roman-de-brut-9780192871268.

Paperback

Published: 11 April 2024

320 Pages

7.7 x 5.1 inches

ISBN: 9780192871268

Oxford World's Classics


A new translation of Wace's Roman de Brut, a poem which served as a gateway to the larger traditions of Arthurian literature and historical writing in the French and English vernaculars

Provides an easily accessible English prose translation of the first complete Old French adaptation (1155) of Geoffrey of Monmouth's History of the Kings of Britain (c. 1130-40), in which Arthur appears for the first time as king of the Britons

Accompanied by extensive critical apparatus, including a summary of the text, a glossary, a list of manuscripts, and an index of personal and geographical names


Description


'Whoever wishes to hear about, and to know about, kings and heirs, about who first ruled England and which kings it had, Master Wace, who is telling the truth about this, has translated this.'

Wace's Roman de Brut (1155) can be seen as the gateway to the history of the Britons for both French and English speakers of the time, and thus to Arthurian history, as the first complete Old French adaptation of Geoffrey of Monmouth's Latin History of the Kings of Britain (late 1130s), in which Arthur appears for the first time as king of the Britons. The Roman de Brut was a foundational work, an inspiration for a series of anonymous verse Bruts of the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries and for the Anglo-Norman Prose Brut -- the most widely read French vernacular text on this material in medieval England -- as well as a forerunner of the Middle English Brut tradition, including Layamon's Brut (c. 1200). Wace's poem thus inaugurates and shapes Brut traditions, including Arthurian tales, in verse and in prose, in historiography and in literature, including Wace's innovation of King Arthur's Round Table.

This volume contains an English prose translation of Wace's Roman de Brut, accompanied by an introduction and notes, a select bibliography, a summary of the text, a list of manuscripts, and indexes of personal and geographical names.
