The Arthurian romance is often regarded as the prototype of medieval awareness of genre, and from the start, has interconnected with typical elements from other literary genres. Conversely, Arthurian elements and structures are not restricted to the Arthurian romance. The essays, which explore this thematic area in detailed case studies, focus on the effects exerted by these almost programmatically integrated "dialogues."
