Malory's Morte Darthur - text, history and reception - expertly
appraised by international scholars. This collection of original
essays by an international group of distinguished medievalists
provides a comprehensive introduction to the great work of Sir
Thomas Malory, which will be indispensable for both students and
scholars. It is divided into three main sections, on Malory in
context, the art of the Morte Darthur, and its reception in later
years. As well as essays on the eight tales which make up the Morte
Darthur, there are studies ofthe relationship between the
Winchestermanuscript and Caxton's and later editions; the political
and social context in which Malory wrote; his style and sources;
and his treatment of two key concepts in Arthurian literature,
chivalry and the representation of women. The volume also includes
a brief biography of Malory with a list of the historical records
relating to him and his family. It ends with a discussion of the
reception of the Morte Darthurfrom the sixteenth to the twentieth
centuries, and a select bibliography. Contributors: P.J.C. FIELD,
