The werewolf in Medieval romance [electronic resource] /by Renée Ward. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan US :2025. - xv, 264 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - New Middle Ages,2945-5944. - New Middle Ages..

1. Introduction -- Part I: Knightly Assemblages -- 2. Guillaume de Palerne -- 3. Bisclavret -- Part II: Arthur and the Werewolf -- 4. Arthur and Gorlagon -- 5. Melion -- Part III: Adapting and Politicizing the Werewolf -- 6. William of Palerne -- 7. Biclarel.

The Werewolf in Medieval Romance argues that in Guillaume de Palerne, Bisclavret, Arthur and Gorlagon, Melion, William of Palerne, and Biclarel the werewolf's identity incorporates a variety of assemblages, including human and animal bodies, and physical spaces and the animate and inanimate beings or objects therein. Whether in lupine or human form, the werewolf's identity is a perpetual becoming, one with extensive queer, and thus disruptive, potential. Additionally, the werewolf's identity incorporates political systems and violence, specifically through his status as a knight, prince, and/or king. He is an expression of sovereign power and an extension of the identity the sovereign presents, often functioning as a blunt instrument of the crown. Renée Ward is a Senior Lecturer of Medieval Literature in the School of Humanities and Heritage at the University of Lincoln, UK. She co-edited The Arthurian World (Routledge) and also co-edits The Year's Work in Medievalism, the journal of the International Society for the Study of Medievalism.
