Geoffrey of Monmouth and the Feminist Origins of the Arthurian
Legend provides the first feminist analysis of both the Arthurian
section of The History of the Kings of Britain and The Life of
Merlin. Fiona Tolhurst argues that because Geoffrey creates
nontraditional and unusually powerful female figures, he stands
outside of - and works against the misogyny of - the medieval
literary tradition. This study employs the strategies of both
historicist and New Historicist critics and adds a new dimension to
existing scholarship by proposing that the word 'feminist' can be
used to describe a medieval text that presents female figures
meaningfully and, in most cases, positively.
