PREFACE
This book forms part of the ongoing series Arthurian Literature in the Middle Ages.
The purpose of the series is to provide a comprehensive and reliable survey of
Arthurian writings in all their cultural and generic variety. For many years, the
single- volume Arthur in the Middle Ages: A Collaborative History (ed. R. S. Loomis,
Oxford, 1959) served the needs of students and scholars of Arthurian literature admir-
ably, but it has now been overtaken by advances in scholarship and by changes in
critical perspectives and methodologies. The Vinaver Trust recognized the need for a
fresh and u p- to- date survey, and decided that several volumes were required to do jus-
tice to the distinctive contributions made to Arthurian literature by the various cultures
of medieval Europe.
The series is mainly aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students and at
