Its tight thematic focus - sacred space and place in Arthurian romance - allows a deeper exploration of the different facets of these texts' sacred spaces ... Such a focus makes this book an essential contribution to the growing body of scholarship on Arthurian spaces and places. -- Mary Bateman * Archiv *
