Piercy, Hannah (2022). Desire, Consent, and Misogyny in Post-medieval Adaptations of the Pelleas and Ettarde Story. Journal of the International Arthurian Society, 10(1), pp. 5-28. De Gruyter 10.1515/jias-2022-0003
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Pelleas and Ettarde may not be particularly well-known figures today, but in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, following the publication of Alfred Lord Tennyson’s ‘Pelleas and Ettarre’ idyll, they were included or even centred in a number of Arthurian poems, plays and novels. This article explores the changing representations of Pelleas and Ettarde in post-medieval adaptations. Why do writers choose to retell and adapt this story? What kinds of intertextual connections are uncovered by focusing on these particular Arthurian afterlives? And how do modern writers reshape this story in response to contemporary perspectives on
desire, consent and misogyny? Drawing upon examples from fourteen canonical and lesser-known works, this essay charts the post-medieval popularity of this story, which offers a valuable case study for understanding the changing representation of desire, consent and misogyny in modern Arthuriana.
