ENGL-U299-W01
This course surveys the origins and development of one of the richest and most enduring traditions in all of world literature: the legend of Arthur, rex quondam, rexque futurus, “the once and future king.” Primary focus will be on medieval historical and literary imaginings of Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, Camelot, the Holy Grail, and the Round Table, but some attention will also be given to contemporary archaeological evidence, manuscripts and their illustrations, and music, as well as to more recent literary and cinematic adaptations of the legends.
