Abstract

Orientiert am Spektrum der Forschungen Friedrich Wolfzettels, dem dieser Band gewidmet ist, beleuchten die hier versammelten Beiträge verschiedene Facetten arthurischen Erzählens. Sie betrachten vergleichend narrative Aspekte der mittelalterlichen französischen und deutschen Artusliteratur, befassen sich mit Fragen der réécriture des Arthurischen im späteren Mittelalter und mit dem ›Weiterleben‹ des Artusstoffs in medial andersartigen Formen des ›Erzählens‹: im Musiktheater und der Literatur des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts, im Film und im zeitgenössischen Roman.

Abstract

A New study of Malory's sources reveals much about how the work was created and about Malory himself. The first book-length study of the sources of Sir Thomas Malory's 'Morte Darthur' since 1921 and the first comprehensive study since that of Vinaver's three-volume edition, 'Malory's Library' collects the results of over one hundred years of scholarship, providing new discussions of the major sources of the eight tales recognised in the standard edition. It also, for the first time, explores possible minor sources of the 'Morte Darthur', evaluating the case for them to see what conclusions may be drawn of Malory's life, work, and mental furnishings. In so doing, it clarifies the process by which Malory created his work. It shows that Malory carried an eclectic body of literature in his mind and worked at least partly from memory; and it illuminates his interest in characters of his own social class, the breadth of his enthusiasm for Arthurian literature, and the depth of his commitment to provide his countrymen with 'the hoole book of kyng Arthur and of his noble knyghtes of the Round Table'. RALPH NORRIS teaches in the Department of English at Kennesaw State University.

Abstract

Wirnts von Grafenberg Wigalois gehört zu den wichtigsten Artusromanen des hohen Mittelalters. Der um 1210/20 entstandene Roman greift auf Motive aus den ,klassischen' mittelhochdeutschen Romanen, z. B. aus Wolframs Parzival und Hartmanns Erec, zurück. Er erzählt die âventiure des Gawein-Sohnes Wigalois, der bei der Suche nach seinem Vater an den Artushof gelangt und dort in die Tafelrunde aufgenommen wird. Als Artusritter besteht er zahlreiche Bewährungsproben, die schließlich in eine ideale Herrschaft im Königreich Korntin münden. Die reiche Überlieferung des Romans (41 Handschriften) zeugt von seiner Beliebtheit vom frühen 13. bis ins späte 15. Jahrhundert. Diese neue Ausgabe enthält nicht nur den mittelhochdeutschen Text (nach Kapteyn), sondern zugleich eine Übersetzung in modernes Deutsch. Darüber hinaus bietet sie einen Stellenkommentar, ein ausführliches Nachwort mit Hinweisen zur Gattungsfrage und Motivik, zum 'Sitz im Leben' und zur Interpretation, Register zu den Namen und zum Kommentar sowie eine Bibliographie zum Wigalois .

Abstract

Literary texts complicate our understanding of medieval emotions; they not only represent characters experiencing emotion and reaction emotionally to the behaviour of others within the text, but also evoke and play upon emotion in the audiences which heard these texts performed or read. The presentation and depiction of emotion in the single most prominent and influential story matter of the Middle Ages, the Arthurian legend, is the subject of this volume. Covering texts written in English, French, Dutch, German, Latin and Norwegian, the essays presented here explore notions of embodiment, the affective quality of the construction of mind, and the intermediary role of the voice as both an embodied and consciously articulating emotion.

Frank Brandsma teaches Comparative Literature (Middle Ages) at Utrecht University; Carolyne Larrington is a Fellow in medieval English at St John's College, Oxford; Corinne Saunders is Professor of Medieval Literature in the Department of English Studies and Co-Director of the Centre for Medical Humanities at the University of Durham.

Abstract

A wide range of Arthurian material is discussed here, reflecting its diversity, and enduring vitality. Geoffrey of Monmouth's best-selling Historia regum Britannie is discussed in the context of Geoffrey's reception in Wales and the relationship between Latin and Welsh literary culture. Two essays deal with the Middle English Ywain and Gawain: the first offers a comparative study of the Middle English poem alongside Chrétien's Yvain and the Welsh Owein, while the second considers Ywain and Gawain with the Alliterative Morte Arthure in their northern English cultural and political context, the world of the Percys and the Nevilles. It is followed by a discussion of Edward III's recuperation of his abandoned Order of the Round Table, which offers an intriguing explanation for this reversal in the context of Edward's victory over the French at Poitiers. The final essay is a comparison of fifteenth- and twentieth-century portrayals of Camelot in Malory and T.H. White, as both idea and locale, and a centre of hearsay and gossip. The volume is completed with a unique and little-known medieval Greek Arthurian poem, presented in facing-page edition and modern English translation.

Elizabeth Archibald is Professor of English Studies at Durham University, and Principal of St Cuthbert's Society; David F. Johnson is Professor of English at Florida State University, Tallahassee.

Abstract

Sex, blood, and gender have diverse associations in the Malorian tradition, yet their inter-relatedness and intersections are comparatively understudied. This present collection of essays is intended to go some way toward remedying the need for a sustained examination of blood ties, kinship, gender, and sexuality, and the prominence of these themes in Malory's work. They concentrate in particular upon the analyses of sexuality and sexual activity (and its lack or erasure) and the significance of blood (and blood-shedding) in the 'Morte Darthur', as well as the interconnections with gender (biological sex) and familial ("blood") relations in the 'Morte', its sources and its later reworkings. The result is a wide-ranging investigation into related but distinctive thematic preoccupations, including the national and kinship affiliations of Malorian knights, sibling relationships, deviant sexuality, and blood-spilling in martial and intimate contexts.
