Camelot Regained: The Arthurian Revival and Tennyson 1800-1849 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780859913003)

The revival of interest in Arthurian literature in the early part of the 19th century has been largely unremarked until now. Roger Simpson's wide-ranging study of this period, in which he traces the dominant forms adopted by the Arthurian revival and presents a wealth of new material, shows it to have been of critical importance in the development of the legend and to have been a powerful early influence on Tennyson, whose role within the Arthurian revival is accordingly reassessed. His book also contains a complete bibliography of early 19th-century Arthurian poetry, drama and prose fiction, together with catalogues of paintings and illustrated books. ROGER SIMPSON is Director, Centre for Overseas Student Programmes, at the University of East Anglia
