This course will study the evolution of the Arthurian legend
from its origins in 6th-century Britain to its fullest
development in the 13th-century French Lancelot-Grail
cycle. The course will look at the way the various
developments of the legend were rooted in specific
historical circumstances and yet contributed to the
elaboration of a rich and complex narrative that has been
appropriated in different ways by each succeeding period of
western European culture.
