Rewriting Arthurian Romance in Renaissance France: From Manuscript to Printed Book

By Jane H.M. Taylor

Arthurian romance in Renaissance France has long been treated by modern critics as marginal - although manuscripts and printed volumes, adaptations and rewritings, show just how much writers, and especially publishers, saw its potential attractions for readers. This book is the first full-length study of what happens to Arthur in the age of print, exploring the fascinations of Arthurian romance in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, and studying the printers, publishers and booksellers who gave it new life.
