Coleridge, Revision and Romanticism: After the Revolution, 1793-1818 (Continuum Literary Studies)

Ve-Yin Tee is Assistant Professor of British Literature at Nanzan University, Japan.

This title presents a cultural-materialist assessment of the after-effects of the French Revolution on English culture, using Coleridge as a case study. The Romantic phenomenon of multiple texts has been shaped by the link between revision and authorial intent. However, what has been overlooked are the profound implications of multiple and contradictory versions of the same text for a materialist approach; using the works of Coleridge as a case study and the afterlife of the French Revolution as the main theme, this monograph lays out the methodology for a more detailed multi-layered analysis.

Arthurian Literature XXIII

The essays in this latest volume have a particularly strong focus on English material; they include explorations of Malory's presentation of Sir Dinadan, the connections between ballads and popular romance, and, moving beyond the medieval period, Thomas Love Peacock's The Misfortunes of Elphin. They are complemented by articles on French sources (L'Atre perilleux, the Queste del Saint Graal, and the Perlesvaus), and with an overview of the idea of cowardice and Arthurian narrative

A Discourse for the Holy Grail in Old French Romance

The Holy Grail made its first literary appearance in the work of the twelfth-century French poet, Chrétien de Troyes, and continues to fascinate authors and audiences alike. This study, supported by a theoretical framework based on the psychoanalytic works of Jacques Lacan and the cultural theory of Slavoj Zizek, aims to strip the legend of much of the mythological and folkloric association that it has acquired over the centuries, arguing that the Grail should be read as a symptom of disruption and obscurity rather than fulfilment and revelation.
