King Arthur in Antiquity
By: Anderson, Graham
Published by: Routledge

Although King Arthur's identity is so frequently debated, he is almost always set somewhere in the Celtic Britain of the Early Christian Era. This original and wide-ranging study argues that the roots of the Arthur legend are to be found in classical antiquity and that the traditional British Arthur is a much later imitation. Graham Anderson examines hitherto neglected evidence for two much older figures, known to classical writers as early kings of Arcadia and Lydia, who supposedly flourished more than a millennium earlier than traditional accounts suggest. He outlines the correspondence between these ancient kings and the traditional Arthurian characters and adventures, exhuming an ancient Gawain-figure, an ancient Lady of Shalott and a predecessor of Excalibur. These earlier Arthurs indicate a wide range of traditional features already in place: hero of 'bear's son' type, rescuer of damsels in distress, transmitter of divine agriculture, 'greatest of knights', founder of a 'Table', king and national icon, and survivor after death. This radical reassessment of the Arthurian legends provides a new perspective on an age-old historical puzzle and will provoke debate amongst Classical and Medieval scholars and Arthurian enthusiasts. more...

Late-Medieval Prison Writing and the Politics of Autobiography
By: Summers, Joanna
Published by: OUP Oxford

An exploration of autobiographical identity in a group of late medieval 'prison texts'. Despite the seminal nature of Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy during the Middle Ages, the legacy of the figure of the writer in prison has not been examined before. The book discusses the interrelation of subjectivity, historicity, autobiography, and imprisonment, and should appeal to scholars in the burgeoning field of fifteenth century studies. - ;Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy has long been taken as one of the seminal works of the Middle Ages, yet despite the study of many aspects of the Consolation's influence, the legacy of the figure of the writer in prison has not been explored. A group of late-medieval authors, Thomas Usk, James I of Scotland, Charles d'Orl--eacute--;ans, George Ashby, William Thorpe, Richard Wyche, and Sir Thomas Malory, demonstrate the ways in which the imprisoned writer is. presented, both within and outside the Boethian tradition. The presentation of an imprisoned autobiographical identity in each of these authors' texts, and the political motives behind such self-presentation are examined in this study, which also questions whether the texts should be considered to from a genre of early. autobiographical prison literature. - ;...crosses the boundaries of genre to bring us an intelligent account of pre-modern self-fashioning. - Isabel Davis, TLS;A service to the study of the late-medieval period - Isabel Davis, TLS more...

The Letters of the Rozmberk Sisters
By: Klassen, John M. (trans.); Dolezalová, Eva (trans.); Szabo, Lynn (trans.)
Published by: Boydell & Brewer

The letters of Perchta and Anezka offer an illuminating insight into how two aristocractic women in fifteenth-century Bohemia saw themselves and their lives. The central topic is Perchta's deep unhappiness at her father’s choice of husband for her. This rare discussion of a situation that must have faced many women in the middle ages is valuable for its illustration of how much a woman might do to influence plans made for her, made all the more interesting by the vigorous personalities of the two sisters and the incidental illumination of family and castle life. more...
