This book presents a broad and deep symbolic reading of the characters involved in the mythical Holy Grail. The author makes several correlations between symbolic readings of the text and the subjective nature of the mythic psyche and personality development today. The Grail, Arthur and his Knights is a mythical-symbolic reading and Jungian analysis of the Grail, with its various forms, origins and manifestations. It is also about Arthur and his loyal and faithful knights of the Round Table and its dangerous chair. The Great Wounded Goddess, the Wasted Land, the Old Wise Merlin and his visions of the future are also re-examined. The book describes the archetyal themes of search, freedom, and the dreaming return of Golden Age. The symbolic reading of these themes according to the Analytical Psychology reveals a wealth of ancient wisdom, transforming the myth, in itself deeply fascinating, into a powerful metaphor for how the search of the individuation process works.

65 Jahre nach der Gründung der Internationalen Artusgesellschaft und nach der Formulierung des "doppelten Kursus" durch Hugo Kuhn (1948) fragt die Artusforschung nach ihrem aktuellen Stand im Kontext einer Literaturwissenschaft als Kulturwissenschaft, indem sie gezielt kulturwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen historisiert. Junge und erfahrene Wissenschaftler(innen) aus verschiedenen Ländern Europas und den USA erlauben einen Einblick in ihre laufenden Forschungsarbeiten zur Artusliteratur. Am Beispiel deutscher, französischer, portugiesischer, niederländischer und englischer Artusromane verhandeln sie zentrale Probleme aus den Bereichen der Gender Studies, der Spiritualitätsforschung, Literatursoziologie und Gewaltforschung, der Narratologie und Medienkulturwissenschaft. Gefragt wird u.a. nach der semantischen Aufladungen von Lichteffekten in der Literatur, nach der Kodierung von Sinnlosigkeit und Paradoxie, nach der Signalfunktion von Namen und nach dem Verhältnis von Gewalt und Spiritualität. In einem weiten Netz vielfältig miteinander verknüpfter Fragestellungen erweisen sie eindrücklich, welchen reichen Beitrag die interdisziplinäre Artusforschung zum Dialog über kulturwissenschaftliche Grundprobleme liefern kann.

King Arthur's stories survive in many genres, but while scholars and enthusiasts alike know something of his roots in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Latin History of the Kings of Britain, most are unaware that there was a Latin Arthurian tradition which extended beyond Geoffrey. This collection of essays highlights different aspects of that tradition.

Beginning with a consideration of Malory's ingenious chronology, this study shows that Malory achieved thematic and structural unity by selecting from the great mass of Arthurian legend three narrative strands -- the intrigues of Lancelot and Guinevere, the Grail quest, and the feud between the houses of Lot and Pellinore -- using these to illustrate a single theme -- the rise, flowering, and downfall of an ideal civilization. This selection and use of diverse materials, Charles Moorman asserts, indicates clearly that Malory set to work with a preconceived plan and that he did achieve his purp

A Connecticut Yankee is Mark Twain's most ambitious work, a tour de force with a science-fiction plot told in the racy slang of a Hartford workingman, sparkling with literary hijinks as well as social and political satire. Mark Twain characterized his novel as "one vast sardonic laugh at the trivialities, the servilities of our poor human race." The Yankee, suddenly transported from his native nineteenth-century America to the sleepy sixth-century Britain of King Arthur and the Round Table, vows brashly to "boss the whole country inside of three weeks." And so he does. Emerging as "The Boss," he embarks on an ambitious plan to modernize Camelot-with unexpected results.
