- Title
Black Waters, Dragons, and Fiends: Arthur's Dream in the Stanzaic Morte Arthur.
- Authors
JOHNSON, DAVID F.
- Abstract
Scrutiny of the interventions in his Old French source by the Stanzaicpoet reveals that he drew upon medieval visions of the afterlife in crafting his own unique version of Arthur's dream of the Wheel of Fortune. Inspired ultimately by an exemplum in Book IV of Gregory's Dialogues, the Stanzaic-poet subtly changes the way Arthur is portrayed, for unlike the king in the French La Mort le roi Artu, Arthur here remains subject to divine judgment.
