ENGL 409 - Seminar: Arthurian Identities

3 HU, WR
First Semester. The rich body of Arthurian fiction has been providing diverse and powerful myths of British identity since shortly after the Norman Conquest. We will study the legend’s medieval developments in both British and Continental contexts, attending particularly to its evolving narratives of gender, rank, and nationality. We will also trace some of the myth’s post-medieval resurfacings in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Requirements include a long final paper. British, Pre-1700.
