From the twelfth century onwards the legends of King Arthur and his knights, including the Tristan legend, spread across Europe, producing a vast range of adaptations and new stories. German and Dutch literature were of central importance in this expansion of Arthurian material from the 12th to 16th century. This title deals with this topic.
This volume provides a survey of Arthurian works and themes in medieval German and Dutch literature and also examines pictorial representations of Arthurian topics, the impact of Arthurian motifs on real life, and the revival and adaptation of legends.
