Arthurian Landscapes: Romance and Chronicle
The session invites papers dealing with treatment of mapping
territory and landscape in Arthurian literature;, including
interdisciplinary approaches to Arthurian material from the
perspective of cartography, art, literature, and historiography.

Robert of Gloucester, and in the Arthurian cycles attest to the
scholarly interest in this subject. Topics might include, but would
not be limited to: "romance" and allegorical landscapes; territorial
boundaries and ethnic identity; land as "hero" in Arthurian chronicle
narrative; land and knighthood; transgression of boundaries in
Arthurian literature; place-names in Arthurian narrative, among
others.
