Description

A Roundtable on Continuity and Change in Arthurian Literature is a multifaceted topic offering much to discuss in the following areas:

1. Continuity and change in a particular Arthurian character;

2. Continuity and change in Arthurian society as a whole;

3. Continuity and change in Arthurian literature as a whole;

The wide range of these facets invites a wide variety of perspectives, making the topic especially suitable for a Roundtable.
