Description

While medieval Arthurian material exploded in popularity throughout the Latin and vernacular literary traditions of Europe, the figure of Arthur originated in Wales, making Arthurian material an important part of medieval Celtic literary traditions at the same time as the Celtic world remained a key component of the Arthurian legend itself. This session invites papers on both Celtic-language Arthurian texts and representations of the Celtic world in Arthurian material of any language. Papers might examine individual Arthurian texts from medieval Celtic literary traditions (either in Latin or the vernaculars), or explore the presence of Celtic landscapes, peoples, or influences in Arthurian texts written in other medieval Latin or vernacular literary traditions.
