註釋This new volume of Arthurian Literature, the first under its new editor Keith Busby, is devoted to the 'Roman van Walewein' (The Romance of Walewein [Gawain]) by Penninc and Pieter Vostaert, an undisputed gem of Middle Dutch literature which has recently become accessible to an English-speaking audience through translation. Essentially a fairy-tale written into Arthurian romance, it presents a Gawain quite different to the man found in the English 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' or the French Gauvain. Expert readings of the 'Walewein', especially commissioned and collected by BART BESAMUSCA and ERIK KOOPER of the University of Utrecht are provided by a group of renowned scholars, contributing to the on-going critical appraisal of the 'Walewein'.KEITH BUSBY is George Lynn Cross Research Professor at the Center for Medieval and Renaissane Studies, University of Oklahoma.
