EN 378 - Arthurian Legend


Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 0
Credit Hours: 3

Magic, morals, cuckoldry, and comedy, romance, and tragedy are all a part of the legend of King Arthur, which this course will trace from its origin in the chronicles of the ninth century to its most important compendium in the fifteenth, with sidelong glances at modern versions in books and on film. The centerpieces will be Chretien de Troyes’s romances and Sir Thomas Malory’s “Arthuriad,” Le Morte D’Arthur.
