Mit dieser Ausgabe wird erstmalig der ,Wigamur', ein Artusroman des 13. Jahrhunderts, in einer kritischen Ausgabe einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht. Er gehört - trotz schmaler Überlieferung - zu den wichtigsten mittelhochdeutschen Texten, von denen bislang keine Ausgabe vorlag, die heutigen Standards genügt. Die Edition bietet einen sprachlich normalisierten und von evidenten Fehlern bereinigten Text: zum einen nach der einzigen vollständigen Handschrift W (Wolfenbüttel, Guelf. 51.2. Aug. 4), die als Leithandschrift fungiert, zum anderen nach M (München, Cgm 5249/28), dem älteren Textzeugen, der nicht lange nach der Entstehung des ,Wigamur' geschrieben sein dürfte. Dem Text ist eine Übersetzung in heutiges Deutsch und ein Stellenkommentar beigegeben. Zusätzlich wird ein einführender Teil, der über die Überlieferungssituation und den Forschungsstand berichtet, und erstmals auch ein Abbildungsteil mit sämtlichen Illustrationen der Wolfenbütteler Handschrift geboten.

A survey of critical attention devoted to Arthurian matters. This book offers the first comprehensive and analytical account of the development of Arthurian scholarship from the eighteenth century, or earlier, to the present day. The chapters, each written by an expert in the area under discussion, present scholarly trends and evaluate major contributions to the study of the numerous different strands which make up the Arthurian material: origins, Grail studies, editing and translation of Arthurian texts, medieval and modern literatures (in English and European languages), art and film. The result is an indispensable resource for students and a valuable guide for anyone with a serious interest in the Arthurian legend.

The legend of Arthur has been a source of fascination for writers and artists in English since the fifteenth century, when Thomas Malory drew together for the first time in English a variety of Arthurian stories from a number of sources to form the Morte Darthur. It increased in popularity during the Victorian era, when after Tennyson's treatment of the legend, not only authors and dramatists, but painters, musicians, and film-makers found a source of inspiration in the Arthurian material.
This interdisciplinary, annotated bibliography lists the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, from 1500 to 2000, including literary texts, film, television, music, visual art, and games. It will prove an invaluable source of reference for students of literary and visual arts, general readers, collectors, librarians, and cultural historians--indeed, by anyone interested in the history of the ways in which Camelot has figured in post-medieval English-speaking cultures.

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.
