The Arthurian legend closes with a promise: On a distant day, when his country calls, the king will return. His lost realm will be regained, and his shattered dream of an ideal world will, at last, be realized. This collection of original essays explores the issue of return in the modern Arthurian legend. With an Introduction by noted scholar Raymond H. Thompson and 13 essays by authors from the fields of literature, art history, film history, and folklore, this collection reveals the flexibility of the legend. Just as the modern legend takes the form current to its generation, the myth of return generates a new legend with each telling. As these authors show, return can come in the form of a noble king or a Caribbean immigrant, with the mystery of an art theft or a dying boy's dream.

In "The Once and Future King," T. H. White masterfully reinterprets the Arthurian legend through a blend of rich narrative and philosophical inquiry. The novel unfolds in four parts, culminating in a profound exploration of power, justice, and the human condition against the backdrop of a fantastical realm. White's eloquent prose interweaves humor and tragedy, rendering complex characters such as King Arthur, Merlyn, and Guinevere with depth and relatability. The book serves not only as an enthralling retelling of the myths but also as a reflection on the failures and potential of human governance, echoing the sociopolitical anxieties of the mid-20th century when it was penned. T. H. White, an English writer and a classicist, drew upon his own experiences and extensive research into medieval history and folklore to craft this seminal work. His personal struggles, particularly with themes of power and morality, no doubt influenced his depiction of Arthur's journey from naive boy to an enlightened ruler. As a result, White imbues the narrative with both a sense of nostalgia and a critique of contemporary political issues, positioning it within the broader Romantic and modernist literary movements. This book is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the intricacies of leadership and the moral dilemmas that accompany it. White's blend of comedy, tragedy, and philosophical reflection creates a tapestry that transcends time, encouraging readers to ponder the legacies of leadership and the timeless question of what it means to be 'king.' Dive into this rich literary feast that effortlessly marries myth, history, and poignant social commentary.

This book surveys the influence of the middle ages, and of medieval attitudes and values, on later periods and on the modern world. Many artistic, political and literary movements have drawn inspiration and sought their roots in the thousand years between 500 and 1500 AD. Medieval Christianity, and its rich legacy, has been the essential background to European culture as a whole.Gothic architecture and chivalry were two keys to Romanticism, while nationalists, including the Nazis, looked back to the middle ages to find emerging signs of national character. In literature few myths have been as durable or popular as those of King Arthur, stretching from the Dark Ages to Hollywood. In Search of the Holy Grail is a vivid account of how later ages learnt about and interpreted the middle ages.

The revival of interest in Arthurian legend in the 19th century was a remarkable phenomenon, apparently at odds with the spirit of the age. Tennyson was widely criticised for his choice of a medieval topic; yet The Idylls of the Kingwere accepted as the national epic, and a flood of lesser works was inspired by them, on both sides of the Atlantic. Elisabeth Brewer and Beverly Taylor survey the course of Arthurian literature from 1800 to the present day, and give an account of all the major English and American contributions. Some of the works are well-known, but there are also a host of names which will be new to most readers, and some surprises, such as J. Comyns Carr's King Arthur, rightly ignored as a text, but a piece oftheatrical history, for Sir Henry Irving played King Arthur, Ellen Terry was Guinevere, Arthur Sullivan wrote the music, and Burne-Jones designed the sets. The Arthurian works of the Pre-Raphaelites are discussed at length, as are the poemsof Edward Arlington Robinson, John Masefield and Charles Williams. Other writers have used the legends as part of a wider cultural consciousness: The Waste Land, David Jones's In Parenthesis and The Anathemata, and the echoes ofTristan and Iseult in Finnigan's Wake are discussed in this context. Novels on Arthurian themes are given their due place, from the satirical scenes of Thomas Love Peacock's The Misfortunes of Elphin and Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court to T.H. White's serio-comic The Once and Future King and the many recent novelists who have turned away from the chivalric Arthur to depict him as a Dark Age ruler. The Return of King Arthurincludes a bibliography of British and American creative writing relating to the Arthurian legends from 1800 to the present day.

Afterlives Of The Lady Of Shalott And Elaine Of Astolat written by Ann F. Howey and has been published by Springer Nature this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-07-31 with Literary Criticism categories.

This book investigates adaptations of The Lady of Shalott and Elaine of Astolat in Victorian and post-Victorian popular culture to explore their engagement with medievalism, social constructions of gender, and representations of the role of art in society. Although the figure of Elaine first appeared in medieval texts, including Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, Tennyson’s poems about the Lady and Elaine drew unprecedented response from musicians, artists, and other authors, whose adaptations in some cases inspired further adaptations. With chapters on music, art, and literature (including parody, young people’s literature, and historical fiction and fantasy), this book seeks to trace the evolution of these characters and the ways in which they reinforce or challenge conventional gender roles, represent the present’s relationship to the past, and highlight the power of art.
