Arthurian Legend in Italian Literature, written by Edmund G. Gardner, is a comprehensive exploration of the influence and adaptation of Arthurian legend in Italian literature. The book delves into the various ways in which Italian writers have incorporated elements of the Arthurian mythos into their own works, from medieval romances to modern literature. Gardner examines the origins of the Arthurian legend and its spread throughout Europe, as well as its impact on Italian culture and society. He also analyzes the different themes and motifs that have emerged in Italian Arthurian literature, such as the role of chivalry, courtly love, and the quest for the Holy Grail. The book includes detailed analyses of key works of Italian Arthurian literature, such as La Tavola Ritonda, La Spagna, and Orlando Innamorato. Overall, Arthurian Legend in Italian Literature provides a fascinating glimpse into the ways in which one of the most enduring and beloved legends of Western literature has been adapted and reimagined in Italy.1930.
