Orientiert am Spektrum der Forschungen Friedrich Wolfzettels, dem dieser Band gewidmet ist, beleuchten die hier versammelten Beiträge verschiedene Facetten arthurischen Erzählens. Sie betrachten vergleichend narrative Aspekte der mittelalterlichen französischen und deutschen Artusliteratur, befassen sich mit Fragen der réécriture des Arthurischen im späteren Mittelalter und mit dem ›Weiterleben‹ des Artusstoffs in medial andersartigen Formen des ›Erzählens‹: im Musiktheater und der Literatur des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts, im Film und im zeitgenössischen Roman.

A New study of Malory's sources reveals much about how the work was created and about Malory himself. The first book-length study of the sources of Sir Thomas Malory's 'Morte Darthur' since 1921 and the first comprehensive study since that of Vinaver's three-volume edition, 'Malory's Library' collects the results of over one hundred years of scholarship, providing new discussions of the major sources of the eight tales recognised in the standard edition. It also, for the first time, explores possible minor sources of the 'Morte Darthur', evaluating the case for them to see what conclusions may be drawn of Malory's life, work, and mental furnishings. In so doing, it clarifies the process by which Malory created his work. It shows that Malory carried an eclectic body of literature in his mind and worked at least partly from memory; and it illuminates his interest in characters of his own social class, the breadth of his enthusiasm for Arthurian literature, and the depth of his commitment to provide his countrymen with 'the hoole book of kyng Arthur and of his noble knyghtes of the Round Table'. RALPH NORRIS teaches in the Department of English at Kennesaw State University.

Oft ist vom ,Artusmythos' die Rede, wobei ,Mythos' alltagssprachlich letztlich alles Altertümliche, Bedeutungs- oder Geheimnisvolle bezeichnen kann. Dem steht eine aktuelle geisteswissenschaftliche Diskussion über den Begriff des ,Mythos' gegenüber. Die Germanistik übernimmt hierbei meist eine Vorreiterrolle. Der vorliegende Band öffnet die Diskussion programmatisch für den interdisziplinären Dialog mit den anderen Philologien. Fokussiert auf das Feld der Artusliteratur, fragt der Band danach, welches Verständnis von ,Mythos' welchen Phänomenen im arthurischen Roman angemessen ist. Inhaltlich wird der Begriff mit vorchristlichen Glaubens- und Weltmodellen verbunden; die Beiträge analysieren die Nachwirkung des mythischen Substrats in der Artusdichtung. Strukturell und formal wird der ,Mythos' als eine a-kausale, zeitlose Erzählform verstanden, als eine Alternative zur Historiographie; zuweilen nähert er sich dem Fiktionalen, Magischen oder Symbolischen an. Deutlich wird, wie die einzelnen Romane je anders mit dem Mythischen umgehen, es destruieren, funktionalisieren oder restituieren. Der Band zeigt damit nachdrücklich, dass es einen literaturwissenschaftlichen Begriff des ,Mythos' jenseits der Einzeltexte nicht geben kann.

This study of vision in 'Morte Darthur' examines the role played by sight - seeing and being seen - in its construction of gender, highlighting also the influence of the romance genre in this process.

Sex, blood, and gender have diverse associations in the Malorian tradition, yet their inter-relatedness and intersections are comparatively understudied. This present collection of essays is intended to go some way toward remedying the need for a sustained examination of blood ties, kinship, gender, and sexuality, and the prominence of these themes in Malory's work. They concentrate in particular upon the analyses of sexuality and sexual activity (and its lack or erasure) and the significance of blood (and blood-shedding) in the 'Morte Darthur', as well as the interconnections with gender (biological sex) and familial ("blood") relations in the 'Morte', its sources and its later reworkings. The result is a wide-ranging investigation into related but distinctive thematic preoccupations, including the national and kinship affiliations of Malorian knights, sibling relationships, deviant sexuality, and blood-spilling in martial and intimate contexts.
