Images make what is absent present and validate it. Fiction therefore seems to encourage visual fantasy in particular. This volume examines the broad spectrum of imagery in Arthurian romances: image cycles, combinations of text and image in manuscripts and printed texts, how images are addressed in texts, and text-"images," all of which can help to shape the plot, serve as intertextual references, or encourage poetological reflection.
