From the Middle Ages to the present, legends of King Arthur and his court have prompted readers to contemplate leadership and community, love and loyalty, the spiritual realm, and more, and the tales and their various adaptations continue to invite reflections on the current moment.Moving from early works by Geoffrey of Monmouth and Thomas Malory to later interpretations by Tennyson, Tolkien, and others, the essays in this volume explore the depth of the Arthurian tradition. They consider its breadth in diverse languages and forms, including Icelandic sagas, Japanese novels, and American hip-hop. Classroom approaches include discussion of disability, race, and gender theories; recommendations for exploring digital technologies; models for creative projects; and further engaging ideas. 10
