	Reconstructing Camelot: French Romantic Medievalism and the Arthurian Tradition (Arthurian Studies) Publication Date: September 7, 1995\| Series: Arthurian Studies (Book 36) French Romanticism was a widespread movement, as apparent in the works of historians and scholars as in the works of creative writers.

Taking into account works of historiography and literary history, as well as literary texts proper, it assesses the place of the Arthurian material in French culture in the period up to 1860, the date of publication of Edgar Q...

Yet it is a highly interesting work, reflecting a tradition which reaches back to the beginnings of Arthurian romance in the early 12th century; it is linked to the famous Arthurian sculpture on the cathedral at Modena, and contains an episode which foreshadows the temptation scene in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, while elsewhere Celtic material is much in evidence as the basis of th...
