MIDDLE AGE IN LITERATURE


Hello Sophomores,

I would like to inform that there are many interesting print books on display in the Library! 


If you would like something else, try the links below:

Complete, searchable logs of the Internet scholarly conference "Arthurnet." An excellent resource for the most current thinking of scholars and teachers, lively debates. You can search for subject matter (e.g., "historical Arthur"), author (e.g., "Malory"), or contributor (e.g., "Laura Hodges").

The Arthurian resources contained within the pages of this web site are a wonderful tool if you are looking to learn more about the history of King Arthur and to examine the myths behind the legend. The web site is broken down into different section headings, all of which contain a short summary to indicate to you what topics are addressed in that particular area. You will be able to research the history of Arthur; examine concepts of Arthur; access a guide to Arthurian literature; and find miscellaneous essays, notes, and resources on the legend.

Although he was not considered a professional writer, Sir Thomas Malory is known for writing Arthurian literature. Written in the 1400s, his works about King Arthur are still read today. This article describes Malory's writing style, and discusses what little is known about Malory's life. You will find details about Malory's parents, his involvement with local politics as an adult, and his brushes with the law. There is also information about his time in prison.

"The Camelot Project" web site is designed to make available in electronic format a database of Arthurian texts, images, bibliographies, and basic information. The main menu lists Arthurian characters, symbols, and sites. A second menu includes lists of artists and their works. This site is continually being added to, so if you don't find the information you need right away visit again and again.

This site studies and analyzes the medieval poem Sir Gaiwan, which is made up of two stories in one. There is a brief history of the poem that provides some background, plus links to several electronic texts of the work. The Online Resources section leads to many discussions and study guides for the text, along with information about the anonymous poet.
