(Author)
Description
'Arthurian Literature' is now established as a leading publication for research articles of monograph length on subjects of perennial interest to Arthurians. The Indexto the first ten volumes, representing the years 1980-1990, will be warmly welcomed by Arthurians and other scholars with an interest in medieval and later literature, history and art history. JANET GRAYSON contributes 'Jessie Weston', an account of the achievements of Jessie Weston (author of 'From Ritual to Romance', and more recently and posthumously 'The Romance of Perlesvaus'. The material included illuminates the context of her work on ritual and includes reference to occult societies with which Yeats and Charles Williams were associated. It also illustrates the difficulties which beset women when working in a field normally considered the preserve of men. Update', now a regular feature updating previous articles, is devoted to ROGER SIMPSON's additional material on 'Arthurian Legend in Fine and Applied Art of the 19th and early 20th Centuries', a subject originally covered by Christine Poulson in Volume IX. Dr RICHARD BARBER is the author of two classic Arthurian books, 'Arthurian Legends' and 'King Arthur: Hero and Legend', in addition to a number of other books on the history and literature of the middle ages. As Director of Boydell & Brewer, his interests are closely reflected in the books published by the company.
