About the project.
This is a creative project with a mythological approach.
Hi, I’m Cora, a university student studying English and Literature! My intention in this project is to give readers insight into Joseph Campbell’s Monomyth within Arthurian legends, specifically in regards to Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and feminine studies. The creative work re-imagines a similar story with a female hero, and the analytic works are focused on Campbell’s work, Sir Gawain, and gender within Arthurian legends. Feel free to explore the compiled art, analysis, and story.
Happy adventuring!
