Images of Adventure: Ywain in the Visual Arts

by James A. Rushing

Exploring the relationships between literature and the visual arts in the Middle Ages, this book examines pictorial representations of the story of Ywain, knight of the Round Table, from the 13th through to the 15th centuries. Of the images studies by Rushing, only those found in manuscripts of Chretien de Troyes' Yvain are placed in any obvious relation with a written text, whilst those many images of Yvain found on wall-paintings, embriodery, and misericords are not accompanied by text at all. Rushing presents a thematic analysis and interpretation of these latter, navigating between the traditional disciplines of lliterary study and art history. 300p with illus. (Pennsylvania UP 1995)
