Short description This Companion offers a chronological sweep of the canon of Arthurian literature - from its earliest beginnings to the contemporary manifestations of Arthur in film and electronic media. Leading scholars review Arthurian legends and their transformations, language-to-language, text-to-film, and medieval-to-modern adaptations are analyzed, and key concepts such as 'empire', 'romance' and 'chivalry' are explored. Part of Blackwell's popular Companions to Literature and Culture series, this volume enables a fundamental understanding of Arthurian literature and leaves no doubt as to why it is still important today.
