Speranza
Beginning with an introduction that examines the portrayal of the characters of
Lancelot and Guinevere from their origins to the present day, this collection of
16 essays-five of which appear here for the first time-puts particular emphasis
on the appearance of the two characters in medieval and modern literature.
Besides several studies exploring feminist concerns, the volume features
articles on the representation of the lovers in medieval manuscript
illuminations (18 plates focus on scenes of their first kiss and the
consummation of the adultery), in film, and in other visual arts.
A 200-item
bibliography completes the volume.
