Description: Are the actions of literary figures motivated by emotion or are they instead shaped by narrative and literary constraints? The essays in this volume show how emotion and action in Arthurian romance novels are mediated by narrative factors -- as is revealed, for example, when the author plays with the amount of information shared with the reader, references prior knowledge held by the reader, or violates cultural or literary norms.
