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.
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 twelfth to sixteenth century, contributing works of outstanding aesthetic quality and a lively process of reception, adaptation and transmission in which the Arthurian subject matter underwent various modifications in contact with northern and central European traditions.

Silvia Ranawake is Professor of German, Queen Mary's College, London. Harry Jackson is Senior Lecturer in German, University of St. Andrews.
