Summary

As we all know, Arthurian literature was a pan-European phenomenon, so each branch of its distribution deserves its own separate treatment. This is the underlying motive for the series edited by Ad Putter, and the current book, the tenth volume, is dedicated to the Arthurian legend in Dutch and Flemish literature, magisterially edited by the well-known scholars Bart Besamusca and Frank Brandsma. As in many other cases, French sources were most influential in the Dutch and Flemish region, although we should not talk simply about translation literature, as is the same situation in Middle High German or Medieval English Arthurian romances.
