The Arthurian World, ed. Victoria Coldham-Fussell, Miriam Edlich-Muth, and Renée Ward. London: Routledge, 2022, xxii, 580 pp

Abstract In thirty-four chapters Arthur is dressed and served, with half the courses medieval, half post-medieval. They appear in four parts: Arthur in Britain; in Europe outside Britain; in material aspects (manuscripts, printed books, art); and "transversally" in (for example) cinema or digital games. In the first part are: Peter Field on Arthur's origins; Helen Fulton on Welsh tradition and the "Invention" (sic) of Arthur's Britain; Audrey Martin and David Mason on Arthur in Geoffrey of Monmouth, Anglo-Norman, Middle English, Caxton; Victoria Flood on Arthur and medieval prophecy; Kenneth Hodges on him in Malory and Spenser; Andrew Lynch on post-medieval texts (up to Kazuo Ishiguro); Andrew Hadfield on Spenser; Claudia Olk on parallels with The Tempest; Renée Ward on a forgotten Victorian novel; Virginia Blanton on plays from 1873 onwards.
