Recenzii
‘Natalia Petrovskaia’s thought-provoking and closely-argued monograph will dramatically change how we think about the medieval Welsh Peredur and about the vexed issue of its relation to Chrétien’s Perceval. It provides convincing and innovative analyses of its narrative structure, and of its indebtedness to Welsh literary, legal and cultural traditions.’
