About This Item

D. S. Brewer, Woodbridge, first edition, 1981. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. [2], 105, [1] pp. From the blurb: "There is increasing interest among historians and literary scholars in the interaction between the realities of knighthood and its evolution in medieval society on one hand and the depiction of knighthood in literature on the other. This volume is an important contribution to the theme, and opens with a valuable survey by Tony Hunt of the present state of scholarly research on the emergence of the knight in France and England, in which he points out that 'the loss of prestige by the cavalryman of history has only enhanced the chivalric figure of literature'. The articles which follow look at aspects of knighthood in Provence, Germany, Scotland and finally England, where W. R. J. Barron looks at irony in Malory and in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". Good in price-clipped dustwrapper.
