ZEITSCHRIFT FÜR ROMANISCHE PHILOLOGIE This latest issue of Arthurian Literaturecontinues the tradition of the journal, combining critical studies with editions of primary Arthurian texts. Varied in their linguistic and chronological coverage, the articles dealwith major areas of Arthurian studies, from early French romance through late medieval English chronicle to contemporary fiction. Topics include Béroul's Tristan, Tristan de Nanteuil, the Anglo-Norman Brut, and the Morte, while an edition of the text of an extrait of Chrétien's Erec et Enide prepared by the eighteenth-century scholar La Curne de Sainte-Palaye offers important insights into both scholarship on Chretien, and our understanding of the Enlightenment. The volume is completed with an encyclopaedic treatment of Arthurian literature, art and film produced between 1995 and 1995, acting as an update to The New Arthurian Encyclopedia.Contributors: RICHARD ILLINGWORTH, JANE TAYLOR, CARLETON CARROLL, MARIA COLOMBO TIMELLI, RALUCA RADULESCU, JULIA MARVIN, NORRIS LACY, RAYMOND THOMPSON.
Download or read book A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana 1500 2000 written by Ann F. Howey and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2006 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotated bibliography of the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, not only in literary texts, but in television, music, and art. The legend of Arthur has been a source of fascination for writers and artists in English since the fifteenth century, when Thomas Malory drew together for the first time in English a variety of Arthurian stories from a number of sources to form the Morte Darthur. It increased in popularity during the Victorian era, when after Tennyson's treatment of the legend, not only authors and dramatists, but painters, musicians, and film-makers found a sourceof inspiration in the Arthurian material. This interdisciplinary, annotated bibliography lists the Arthurian legend in modern English-language fiction, from 1500 to 2000, including literary texts, film, television, music, visual art, and games. It will prove an invaluable source of reference for students of literary and visual arts, general readers, collectors, librarians, and cultural historians--indeed, by anyone interested in the history of the waysin which Camelot has figured in post-medieval English-speaking cultures.

Book excerpt: A chill ran through Alania's body upon hearing the villain speak the words Princess Alania. She had not been addressed as Princess Alania in any sort of public gathering since she was twelve years old. She stared at Charkston without moving. She had assumed that Charkston and his band of Vandolian kidnappers were sent to abduct Deborah of Glamster, the intended bride of John the Blacksmith. No wonder Jamal was offering such a rich reward; he was seeking to steal the virgin daughter of Queen Aracia... Moments before, Princess Alania, in hiding under the alias Deborah of Glamster, had just donned her wedding dress in a secluded mountain glade. Zake, the eldest son of Sir Marticus the Avenger and under the alias John the Blacksmith, is ready to behold a bride worthy of chaste devotion. Only select guests are invited to the secret wedding so that it will remain hidden from the knowledge of Jamal, Charftan of the evil kingdom of Vandolia in the underground realm of Subterrania. The ceremony, however, is not as clandestine as they would have hoped... Once Zake discovers that his betrothed has been kidnapped and is to be delivered to the lecherous Jamal, he ventures into the depths of Subterrania, a vast and dangerous world filled with fantastical creatures and characters. Seeking justice and Alania, Zake is catapulted into the greatest adventure he will ever experience. In Search of Alania is the second book in a trilogy that begins with Zarkanis and Colesia and ends with the forthcoming Call to Subterrania.

Download or read book Draculas Vampires and Other Undead Forms written by John Edgar Browning and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-04-08 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of Dracula in 1897, Bram Stoker's original creation has been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and filmmakers. From Universal's early black-and-white films and Hammer's Technicolor representations that followed, iterations of Dracula have been cemented in mainstream cinema. This anthology investigates and explores the far larger body of work coming from sources beyond mainstream cinema reinventing Dracula. Draculas, Vampires and Other Undead Forms assembles provocative essays that examine Dracula films and their movement across borders of nationality, sexuality, ethnicity, gender, and genre since the 1920s. The essays analyze the complexity Dracula embodies outside the conventional landscape of films with which the vampire is typically associated. Focusing on Dracula and Dracula-type characters in film, anime, and literature from predominantly non-Anglo markets, this anthology offers unique perspectives that seek to ground depictions and experiences of Dracula within a larger political, historical, and cultural framework.
