Tracing the variety of women's responses to the medieval revival through Gothic literature, travel writing, scholarship, and decorative gift books, it argues that differences in the kinds of Arthurian materials read by and prepared for women produced a distinct female tradition in Arthurian writing. Examining the Arthurian interests of the best-selling female poets of the day, Felicia Hemans and Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and uncovering those of many of their contemporaries, the Arthurian myth in the Romantic period is a vibrant location for debates about function of romance, the role of the imagination, and women's place in literary history."--Back cover. 650 0 $a English literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Arthurian romances $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x Themes, motives. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116064118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=964CFDAA580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
