THE ARTHURIAN WAY OF DEATH:
THE ENGLISH TRADITION
It is arguably the tragic end to Arthur’s kingdom that gives the Arthurian
myth its exceptional resonance and power. The fact that Arthur may or
may not die during this tragedy is equally compelling The essays in this
volume explore the presentation of death and dying in Arthurian litera-
ture and film produced in England and America from the Middle Ages
to the modern day. Authors, texts and topics covered include Geoffrey
of Monmouth, the chronicle tradition, and the alliterative
Morte Arthure;
Gawain and the Green Knight, Ywain and Gawain,
the stanzaic
Morte
Arthur,
and Malory’s
Morte Darthur;
Tennyson’s
Idylls,
Pyle’s retelling
of the myth for American children, David Jones, T. H. White, Donald
Barthelme, Rosalind Miles and Parke Godwin. Featured films include
Knight Rider, Excalibur, First Knight,
and
King Arthur.
