Review of Arthurianism in Early Plantagenet England from Henry II to Edward I by Randy P. Schiff
The Medieval Review
(2021)
Abstract
Berard’s study of Arthurianism offers a compelling survey of the manifold uses of Arthurian mythology and symbolism during the reigns of five Plantagenet kings. In this richly sourced volume, Berard consistently shows how deployments of Arthurianism were dynamically related both to informing political contexts and to a lively interest in this living cultural legacy. Scholars will surely benefit immensely from this book’s careful collection of many topics and texts that speak to the immense impact of Arthurian discourse in late-medieval England.
