Richards, Emerson Storm Fillman, “‘It is mainly just that they are Irish’: T. H. White’s commentary on twentieth century Anglo-Irish tensions in The once and future king”, Arthuriana 27:4 (Winter, 2017): 39–59.
abstract:
In The Witch in the Wood, T.H. White's depiction of the Orkney clan becomes a manifestation of his own grappling with tensions between England and Ireland and his personal relationship with these nations through references to Brian Merriman's Cúirt An Mheán Oíche and the works of Malory, among others.
Brady, Lindy, “Feminine desire and conditional misogyny in Arthur and Gorlagon”, Arthuriana 24:3 (2014): 23–44.
abstract:
This essay argues that the adulterous female characters in the exempla of Arthur and Gorlagon are distinguished from Guenevere in the text’s frame narrative. Arthur and Gorlagon is not wholly misogynist, but reserves contempt for female characters who express sexual desire in public spaces.
Fulton, Helen, “Gender and jealousy in Gereint uab Erbin and Le roman de silence”, Arthuriana 24:2 (2014): 43–70.
abstract:
The medieval Welsh prose version of the story of Gereint (Erec) and Enid differs from its cognates in French and German by attributing the motive of jealousy to Gereint as the reason why he decides to test his wife's devotion. This theme of jealousy draws attention to an uneasiness in the text about Enid's noble status and the concept of gender. The story of Gereint and Enid, in common with the French Roman de Silence, finds itself demonstrating that both gender and class are constructed through a social performance that must be continually enacted.
Pace, Edwin, “Geoffrey of Monmouth’s sources for the Cador and Camblan narratives”, Arthuriana 24:3 (2014): 45–78.
abstract:
A survey of Geoffrey’s Historia Regum Britanniae suggests that it is a work transmitted over many centuries, incorporating narratives mis-sychronized from different periods. Accounts from earlier known exemplars display a consistent variation, with those farthest in time from the twelfth century displaying the greatest degree of change.
Smelik, Bernadette, “The intended audience of Irish Arthurian romances”, Arthuriana 17:4 (2007): 49–69.
Sayers, William, “Medieval Irish language and literature: an orientation for Arthurians”, Arthuriana 17 (2007): 70–80.
Sayers, William, “La Joie de la Cort (Érec et Énide), Mabon, and early Irish síd [peace; Otherworld]”, Arthuriana 17:2 (Summer, 2007): 10–27.
Bollard, John K., “Theme and meaning in Peredur”, Arthuriana 10:3 (2000): 73–92.
abstract:
This article examines the episodic and thematic development of the Welsh Peredur, proposing the longer version of the Red and White Books is a unified tale concerned directly with such themes as courtesy, fame, and love.
Piquemal, Catherine, “Culhwch and Olwen: a structured portrayal of Arthur?”, Arthuriana 10:3 (Fall, 2000): 7–26.
Roberts, Brynley F., “Peredur son of Efrawg: a text in transition”, Arthuriana 10:3 (Fall, 2000): 57–72.
Cichon, Michael, “Insult and redress in Cyfraith Hywel Dda and Welsh Arthurian romance”, Arthuriana 10:3 (Fall, 2000): 27–43.
abstract:
This article, treating the laws in their context as well as specific legal references in the Romances, examines the transactional nature of insult and redress as portrayed in medieval Welsh law and literature. The laws contain commentary on hierarchy and behavior, and the narratives show to some extent how the laws worked. Both shed light on the values of the society that produced the literature.
