Cinema Arthuriana
The legends of King Arthur have not only endured for centuries, but also flourished in constant retellings and new stories built around the central themes. With the coming of motion pictures, Arthur was destined to hit the screen. This edition of Cinema Arthuriana, revised in 2002, presents 20 essays on the topic of the recurring presence of the legend in film and television from 1904 to 2001. They cover such films as Excalibur (1981) and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975), television productions such as The Mists of Avalon (2001), and French and German films about the quest for the Holy Grail and the other adventures of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
Cinema Arthuriana
Discusses Lancelot du Lac, Camelot, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and other films; along with such topics as irony, Morgan and incest, and arms and armor; in 14 original essays, and an overview and bibliography expanded from an earlier publication.
