This book reveals the breadth and depth of women's engagements with Arthurian romance in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Tracing the variety of women's responses to the medieval revival through Gothic literature, travel writing, scholarship, and decorative gift books, it argues that differences in the kinds of Arthurian materials read by and prepared for women produced a distinct female tradition in Arthurian writing. Examining the Arthurian interests of the best-selling female poets of the day, Felicia Hemans and Letitia Elizabeth Landon, and uncovering those of many of their contemporaries, the Arthurian myth in the Romantic period is a vibrant location for debates about the function of romance, the role of the imagination, and women's place in literary history.
"Katie Garner's Romantic Women Writers and Arthurian Legend is to experience a shift in scale. Garner's work is on a niche topic, and the question arises as to how broad a readership it can attract. ... scholars interested in Romantic medievalism or Romantic Arthurianism more specifically may want to follow up some of the paths Garner opens, and they will undoubtedly find this monograph a useful source book." (Geraldine S. Friedman, European Romantic Review, Vol. 30 (4), 2019)
"Romantic Women Writers and Arthurian Legend wears its intellectual rigour with elegance and manages to be fluent and readable while demonstrably being the product of erudite and incisive research. ... Garner's book will be of enormous benefit to scholars of nineteenth-century Arthurania and medievalism, as well as to scholars researching nineteenth-century women's reading practices and negotiations with the literary marketplace more generally." (Clare Broome Saunders, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, Vol. 38 (1), 2019)
"Engagingly written and painstakingly researched, this book provides an insightful and multifaceted view of Romantic women writers' relationship with Arthurian legend." (Lisa Plummer Crafton, Medievally Speaking, medievallyspeaking.blogspot.com, August, 2018)
