D. S. Brewer, Cambridge, first edition, 1990. Cloth, 8vo,. [ii], 160, [2] pp. From the publisher's description: "The tenth volume of Arthurian Literature continues some of the themes of earlier issues, as well as exploring unfamiliar and controversial ground. The second part of Christine Poulson's survey of the Arthurian legend in 19th-century art is an analysis by subject of the works catalogued by artist in Arthurian Literature IX. A. H. W. Smith provides a substantial update to Mary Wildman's bibliography of modern Arthurian literature which appeared in Arthurian Literature II, adding not only recent works but also many items missing from the earlier list. Mr Smith also contributes an article on Ponticus Virumnius and the text of Gildas, one of the more intriguing mysteries of Arthurian text history, and sets out Virumnius' claim to have seen a poem by Gildas which has since disappeared. Armel Diverres writes on the origins of Chretien de Troyes' Conte del Graal; he argues that we should seek the poet's inspiration in the crusading activities of Philip of Flanders, supporting his case with a careful examination of many otherwise difficult passages in the poem.
