Rezensionen
MLR
"In this succinct yet remarkably inclusive book, one of the greatEnglish medievalists of our time takes a genuinely European view ofthe great Arthurian saga. Vastly erudite yet companionable instyle, Pearsall succeeds admirably in conveying the pleasures ofreading, and in encouraging us to read, the unfolding andunravelling adverntures of Arthur and Guinevere, Lancelot andMerlin." David Wallace, Judith Rodin Professor and Chair,University of Pennsylvania <!--end--> "Pearsall is a a knowledgeable, astute, and witty guidewho writes for all those captivated by Arthurian stories. Heunravels the tangled web of medieval romance in England, France,and Germany, explores the 'second coming' of Arthurian themes inthe romantic revival of the nineteenth century, and shows how thepotent mixture of ennobling love, violence, political idealism,chivalry, pathos, tragedy, myth, honour and shame continues toappeal to our present day and age. Pearsall is a seasonedinterpreter whose virtuoso readings of the key texts of Arthurianromance, from Geoffrey of Monmouth to Monty Python, will delightand instruct." Peter Brown, University of Kent atCanterbury "The author's mastery of the Arthurian tradition results in abook that is both stimulating and learned." Choice "a book that is, itself, a pleasure to read, both entertainingand erudite. [...] The book's economy and easy-going style shouldmake it appealing to the non-specialist, but Pearsall's scholarlydepth and range add a lustre that even the most sophisticatedreader will appreciate."
