King Arthur could only develop into a modern myth because the Arthurian literature created in the High Middle Ages was continuously recreated over the centuries. This volume uses the key concepts of réécriture and reception to investigate how individual Arthurian romances were transmitted, processed, re-wrote, and received in the Late Middle Ages, in early modernity, and through the 20 th century.
