  • A <I>Perceforest</I> Reader

    Edited by T. Pugh, S. Aronstein ...
    Series series Literature, Cultural and Media Studies (R0)
    For many, the middle ages depicted in Walt Disney movies have come to figure as the middle ages, forming the earliest visions of the medieval past for much of the contemporary Western (and increasingly Eastern) imagination.
