Abstract

In the continuing efforts to comprehend and define medieval methods of literary composition, it is critical to use, or at least consider, all the approaches available. In many instances a modern concept, even if drawn from a non-literary context, may offer a useful key to the function of earlier texts. Here, Lacy examines the potential applicability of a cinematic phenomenon to a study of medieval narrative, and specifically to Arthurian romance.
