Welcome to the brand new Arthurian Preservation Project website!
"There was a considerable expansion of literary activity in the German empire from the twelfth century onwards. Arthurian literature played a major part in this process, and German works are established in the canon of European Arthurian literature. Arthur, his court and the knights of the Round Table first appear in German literature in the late twelfth century."
