Encompassing such key works such as Lawman's \u003ci\u003eBrut\u003c\/i\u003e and Wace's \u003ci\u003eRomance of Brut\u003c\/i\u003e, written in Middle English and Old French, respectively, the Arthurian Epic Tradition depends on Geoffrey of Monmouth's \u003ci\u003eHistory of the Kings of Britain\u003c\/i\u003e, written in Latin. Many modern readers are more familiar with Arthur and his fabled court as the centerpiece of a massive fictional tradition, well represented in the second part of this volume, including Chretien de Troyes's \u003ci\u003eStory of the Grail, The Quest of the Holy Grail\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003ePerlesvaus\u003c\/i\u003e. These selections emphasize the connection between secular and religious understandings of chivalry that is the most distinctive quality of medieval Arthurian romance. Useful as a classroom text, the volume provides material for a semester's worth of study.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam W.
