Sturgeon's Law being especially strong in the field of literature, we have here a relatively ordinary addition to the period's Arthurian Literature. The stories themselves are: Caradoc; The Knight With the Sword, and The Perilous Graveyard. The last two being more Gawaine stories, and shift the reader from the two main narratives in most Arthuriana. This is a book useful for the information in the introduction. The stories themselves might be of greater interest if the translation was more spirited. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

For most modern readers, the words 'Round Table' and 'Arthurian Romance' conjure up images of an enchanted kingdom peopled with virtous knights and damsels in distress. Some medieval texts do indeed offer such a picture, but they are decidedly in the minority. The adventure romances brought together in this collection tell instead of villains and heroes whose stories are built upon the concerns, dreams and failures of their intended readers. Throughout these tales morality is complicated by desire in ways which find many modern parallels; whereas the priest in church preached about the salvation of souls, the poet in the hall told of how to acquire a wife, a castle and all the trappings of earthly prosperity...Available for the first time in new translations and accompanied by an incisive introduction, Ross G Arthurs colourful selection of texts is an invaluable work for the student and layman alike.
