The Broadview Anthology of Medieval Arthurian Literature offers an up-to-date and student-friendly approach to teaching the literature of the Arthurian tradition. With a team of contributing editors creating new translations of classic texts, and a distinctive balance of familiar and lesser-known Arthur legends, the anthology is an authoritative and highly teachable resource. A companion website allows for greater flexibility without expanding the print book, and helpful introductions and notes support student readers throughout the anthology.
