Women and Arthurian Literature : Seizing the Sword Paperback / softback
by Marion Wynne-Davies
Paperback / softback
Description
This is the first full-length study of the role of women in Arthurian literature.
It covers writing from the medieval period, the Renaissance, the Victorian age and in contemporary fiction.
Covering the key Arthurian texts, such as Chaucer's Wife of Bath's Tale, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Malory's Morte D'arthur, Spenser's The Faerie Queene and Tennyson's Idylls, it also investigates the less well-known works by women: Lady Charlotte Guest's Mabinogion, Julia Margaret Cameron's illustration to Tennyson's works and, finally, the Arthurian women writers of the twentieth century.
