Abstract

AbstractIn 2015 the publication of the long-awaited volume Arthur of the Iberians promoted, alongside more traditional areas, the need to study contemporary Iberian Arthurian literature, the subject matter of its last chapter. This état présent insists on this idea and makes the claim that a world of research opportunity awaits those interested in this subfield of study. International scholars interested in Arthuriana will be introduced to the how, when and why the matter of Britain staged a very slow comeback to the Iberian Peninsula as the nineteenth century progressed. The prejudice against chivalric fiction and the so-called curse of Cervantes’s Don Quixote proved very difficult to forget. The fundamental role played by translation in the contemporary period and the lack of a full account of Latin American Arthurian literary output are two key areas for further research. Arthur in Iberian fine and performing arts and in Iberian popular culture are two other territories demanding deeper exploration. In other words, King Arthur also belongs to contemporary Portugal, Spain, Latin America and other parts of the Hispanic world.
