Even though ethnologists, folklorists and literary historians generally don‘t think about the South Eastern Alps and present-day Slovenia as Arthurian settings, there have been some interesting Slovenian texts concerning the matter that remain rather obscure to the general scientific public due to their unavailability in English. On placing references of Arthurian material into more detailed historic, cultural and political contexts, the picture becomes importantly clearer.20252026-02-25 14:07:52Članek v reviji179841UDK: 82(100).09-392"04/14"(497.4)ISSN pri članku: 0567-784XDOI: 10.4312/an.58.2.35-56COBISS_ID: 269634819sl
