Anne Berthelot traces the historical origins of the Arthurian legend, from the Roman and Celtic world to Wales, Cornwall and Scotland. She explains how the Anglo-French rivalry drove the creation of Arthur against Charlemagne and how medieval literature turned him into a model knight, defender of Christendom and symbol of courtly values.
Published in 1996, it belongs to the Découvertes Gallimard collection, no. 298 (Littérature series). Text in French. Original work: Discoveries: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
Suitable for readers interested in the Arthurian legend, medieval history and the literary construction of myths.
