This collection gathers recent criticism focusing on female characters in Arthurian literature from the Middle Ages to the present. Touching on important characters from Morgan Le Fay and Guenevere to Laudine and Lunette, the essays discuss medieval and modern readers of the legend, as well as modern critics, writers, and artists who have engaged with the Arthurian story.
