It delivers fascinating material across genres, periods, and theoretical issues. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA wide range of Arthurian material is discussed here, reflecting its diversity, and enduring vitality.  Geoffrey of Monmouth's best-selling \u003ci\u003eHistoria regum Britannie\u003c\/i\u003e  is discussed in the context of Geoffrey's reception in Wales and the relationship between Latin and Welsh literary culture. Two essays  deal with the Middle English \u003ci\u003eYwain and Gawain\u003c\/i\u003e: the first offers a comparative study of the Middle English poem alongside Chrétien's \u003ci\u003eYvain\u003c\/i\u003eand the Welsh \u003ci\u003eOwein\u003c\/i\u003e, while the second considers \u003ci\u003eYwain and Gawain\u003c\/i\u003e  with the Alliterative \u003ci\u003eMorte Arthure\u003c\/i\u003e in their northern English cultural and political context, the world of the Percys and the Nevilles. It isfollowed by a discussion of Edward III's recuperation of his abandoned Order of the Round Table, which offers an intriguing explanation for this reversal in the context of Edward's victory over the French at Poitiers. The final essay is a comparison of fifteenth- and twentieth-century portrayals of Camelot in Malory and T.H. White, as both idea and locale, and a centre of hearsay and gossip.  The volume is completed with a unique and little-known medievalGreek Arthurian poem, presented in facing-page edition and modern English translation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Elizabeth Archibald is Professor of English Studies at Durham University, and Principal of St Cuthbert's Society; David F.
