Arthurian matter, after 1270, and the great cycles in verse and prose, experienced relative exhaustion in French literature. It continues, however, to irrigate literary production and to exert a notable influence on imaginaries and social practices. If strictly Arthurian production (represented by a few novels, the novel since the twelfth century constituted the Arthurian genre par excellence), this relative disaffection should not hide the fact that the references to Arthur and his Round Table, to the loves of Lancelot and Tristan, as well as the revivals of motives, are frequent outside the novels of the matter of Brittany.--Translation of page 4 of cover by Babelio: https://www.babelio.com/livres/Ferlampin-Acher-Arthur-apres-Arthur/943389
