Sovereign FantasiesArthurian Romance and the Making of Britain\nAuthor(s): Patricia Clare Ingham\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: University of Pennsylvania Press, United States\nImprint: University of Pennsylvania Press\nISBN-13: 9780812236002, 978-0812236002\nSynopsis\nDuring and after the Hundred Years War, English rulers struggled with a host of dynastic difficulties, including problems of royal succession, volatile relations with their French cousins, and the consolidation of their colonial ambitions toward the areas of Wales and Scotland. Patricia Ingham brings these precarious historical positions to bear on readings of Arthurian literature in Sovereign Fantasies, a provocative work deeply engaged with postcolonial and gender theory.\n Ingham argues that late medieval English Arthurian romance has broad cultural ambitions, offering a fantasy of insular union as an \""imagined community\"" of British sovereignty. The Arthurian legends offer a means to explore England's historical in.
