The Arthur of the North : The Arthurian Legend in the Norse and Rus' Realms PDF
Edited by Marianne E. Kalinke
Part of the Arthurian Literature in the Middle Ages series
- Information
Description
The book introduces the reader to the stories about King Arthur and his knights and the lovers Tristan and Isolt that flourished in the Scandinavian countries-in Denmark, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden-in the Middle Ages and in early modern times.
The versions of the Arthurian legend that were popular in the North were translations of mostly French literature.
Although they were similar to their sources in many respects, the stories nonetheless underwent change in order to appeal to a culturally quite different audience in the North.
