Arthur, Origins, Identities and the Legendary History of Britain addresses how Arthurian histories incorporating the British foundation myth responded to images of individual or collective identity and how those narratives contributed to those identities. What cultural, political or psychic needs did these Arthurian narratives meet and what might have been the origins of those needs? And how did each text contribute to a "larger picture" of Arthur, to the construction of a myth that still remains so compelling today?</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Arthurian romances</subfield><subfield code="x">History and criticism.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="z">90-04-69103-0</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Explorations in Medieval Culture ;</subfield><subfield code="v">25.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="830" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Late Antiquity and Medieval Studies E-Books Online, Collection 2023.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="906" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">BOOK</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="ADM" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="b">2024-05-03 05:32:29 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="f">system</subfield><subfield code="c">marc21</subfield><subfield code="a">2024-03-21 23:02:30 Europe/Vienna</subfield><subfield code="g">false</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="AVE" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="i">Brill</subfield><subfield code="P">EBA Brill All</subfield><subfield code="x">https://eu02.alma.exlibrisgroup.com/view/uresolver/43ACC_OEAW/openurl?u.ignore_date_coverage=true&portfolio_pid=5353867900004498&Force_direct=true</subfield><subfield code="Z">5353867900004498</subfield><subfield code="b">Available</subfield><subfield code="8">5353867900004498</subfield></datafield></record></collection>
