Fifteen essays trace North America's enthusiastic engagement with the middle ages from the Revolution to Disney. There are eight studies of the American reception of Arthur: in art [Abbey, Rosenthal], literature [Canadian writers, John Ciardi], scholarship [R. S. Loomis], politics [JFK], and popular culture [Arthurian youth groups, Disneyland, the Excalibur Casino]. Other topics include Tom Paine, Elbertus Hubbard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, C. B. DeMille, popular treatments of Villon, the roots of the New Mexican 'cuento', and the rhetoric of the Gulf War. Contributors: ROGER WOOD, KYMBERLEY N. PINDER, ERICA E. HIRSHLER, ALAN LUPACK, CHARLOTTE OBERG, RAYMOND H. THOMPSON, STAN GALLOWAY, ROBIN BLAETZ, ROBERT D. PECKHAM, JEFF RIDER, KLAUS P. JANKOFSKY, MARY MORSE, PAMELA S.
