Fairies in Medieval Romance by James Wade.epub

This study offers new approaches for considering the unique narrative possibilities of fairies in medieval romance, from Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britannie to Thomas Malory’s Morte d’Arthur. James Wade provides a counter-reading to theories of the Celtic origins of medieval fairies and suggests ways in which these unusual figures can help us think about the internal logics of medieval romance.
