ARTHURIAN STUDIES

IN HONOUR OF P.J.C. FIELD

The essays in this volume celebrate the career of Peter Field, Professor of English at

the University of Wales, Bangor. A distinguished Arthurian scholar, he is particu-

larly well-known for his work on Malory’s

Morte Darthur.

Fittingly, this special

interest is reflected by the contributors to this volume, which has a strong focus on

Malory; there are many new insights into Malory’s text and sources, identifying

him as a keen and critical reader, and a powerful stylist. However, a wide variety of

other Arthurian and associated material is also covered; the chapters range over the

whole field of Arthurian vernacular texts and include new studies of early French

and German texts as well as an analysis of the impact of Arthurian materials on

Galician-Portuguese poetry.
