Often dismissed as nostalgic recreations that attempt to halt the literary tide, these ambitious projects saw adaptors from across Western Europe combining a vast array of prose and verse sources from different languages into encyclopaedic narrative chronologies of King Arthur and his court. Ranging from ornate verse adaptations to heavily condensed prose works, the resulting texts reflect a process of translating, cutting and arranging Arthurian material into new literary incarnations, which nonetheless retain recognisable versions of the Arthurian story. This study re-evaluates Malory's Morte Darthur and four broadly contemporary European romance collections, including Jean Gonnot's French BN.fr. 112 manuscript, Ulrich Fuetrer's German Buch der Abenteuer, the Dutch Lancelot Compilation, and the Italian Tavola Ritonda, in the context of this adaptive process. In doing so, it investigates how the adaptors respond to the shared structural and stylistic challenges of incorporating new material into the well-known story of King Arthur and comes to intriguing conclusions about the ways in which the narrative demands of late Arthurian adaptations invited authors to populate the Arthurian court with new and more complex protagonists. 600 10 $a Malory, Thomas, $c Sir, $d active 15th century. $t Morte d'Arthur. 600 10 $a F©ơetrer, Ulrich, $d active 15th century. $t Buch der Abenteuer. 630 00 $a Tavola rotunda. 650 0 $a Arthurian romances $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature, Medieval $x History and criticism. 830 0 $a Arthurian studies ; $v 81. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826091012.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=757875B26B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
