Abstract

This book presents a broad and deep symbolic reading of the characters involved in the mythical Holy Grail. The author makes several correlations between symbolic readings of the text and the subjective nature of the mythic psyche and personality development today. The Grail, Arthur and his Knights is a mythical-symbolic reading and Jungian analysis of the Grail, with its various forms, origins and manifestations. It is also about Arthur and his loyal and faithful knights of the Round Table and its dangerous chair. The Great Wounded Goddess, the Wasted Land, the Old Wise Merlin and his visions of the future are also re-examined. The book describes the archetyal themes of search, freedom, and the dreaming return of Golden Age. The symbolic reading of these themes according to the Analytical Psychology reveals a wealth of ancient wisdom, transforming the myth, in itself deeply fascinating, into a powerful metaphor for how the search of the individuation process works.

Abstract

65 Jahre nach der Gründung der Internationalen Artusgesellschaft und nach der Formulierung des "doppelten Kursus" durch Hugo Kuhn (1948) fragt die Artusforschung nach ihrem aktuellen Stand im Kontext einer Literaturwissenschaft als Kulturwissenschaft, indem sie gezielt kulturwissenschaftliche Fragestellungen historisiert. Junge und erfahrene Wissenschaftler(innen) aus verschiedenen Ländern Europas und den USA erlauben einen Einblick in ihre laufenden Forschungsarbeiten zur Artusliteratur. Am Beispiel deutscher, französischer, portugiesischer, niederländischer und englischer Artusromane verhandeln sie zentrale Probleme aus den Bereichen der Gender Studies, der Spiritualitätsforschung, Literatursoziologie und Gewaltforschung, der Narratologie und Medienkulturwissenschaft. Gefragt wird u.a. nach der semantischen Aufladungen von Lichteffekten in der Literatur, nach der Kodierung von Sinnlosigkeit und Paradoxie, nach der Signalfunktion von Namen und nach dem Verhältnis von Gewalt und Spiritualität. In einem weiten Netz vielfältig miteinander verknüpfter Fragestellungen erweisen sie eindrücklich, welchen reichen Beitrag die interdisziplinäre Artusforschung zum Dialog über kulturwissenschaftliche Grundprobleme liefern kann.

Abstract

A wide range of Arthurian material is discussed here, reflecting its diversity, and enduring vitality. Geoffrey of Monmouth's best-selling Historia regum Britannie is discussed in the context of Geoffrey's reception in Wales and the relationship between Latin and Welsh literary culture. Two essays deal with the Middle English Ywain and Gawain: the first offers a comparative study of the Middle English poem alongside Chrétien's Yvain and the Welsh Owein, while the second considers Ywain and Gawain with the Alliterative Morte Arthure in their northern English cultural and political context, the world of the Percys and the Nevilles. It is followed by a discussion of Edward III's recuperation of his abandoned Order of the Round Table, which offers an intriguing explanation for this reversal in the context of Edward's victory over the French at Poitiers. The final essay is a comparison of fifteenth- and twentieth-century portrayals of Camelot in Malory and T.H. White, as both idea and locale, and a centre of hearsay and gossip. The volume is completed with a unique and little-known medieval Greek Arthurian poem, presented in facing-page edition and modern English translation.

Elizabeth Archibald is Professor of English Studies at Durham University, and Principal of St Cuthbert's Society; David F. Johnson is Professor of English at Florida State University, Tallahassee.
