THE MYTH OF MORGAN LA FEY

Arthurian and Courtly Cultures explores this dynamic field through the great variety of literary and cultural expression inspired by the lore of King Arthur, the Round Table, and the Grail. In forms that range from medieval chronicles to popular films, from chivalric romances to contemporary comics, from magic realism to feminist fantasy—and from the sixth through the twenty-first centuries—few literary subjects provide such fertile ground for cultural elaboration. Including works in literary criticism, cultural studies, and history, Arthurian and Courtly Cultures highlights the most significant new scholarship in Arthurian Studies.
