This book is the first systematic study in decades of Malory's
development of his characters in the Morte Darthur. Focusing on
sixteen key figures in the most important medieval English
treatment of the Arthurian saga, it examines Malory's thematic
characterization of individual rulers, knights, and ladies in
keeping with the twin trajectories of his history of the Round
Table and fifteenth-century English history. Looking at how Malory
develops his characters as exemplars of kingship, knighthood, and
womanhood, the book traces the medieval author's exploration of the
values constituting chivalry as embodied in individual characters,
a process that enabled him to formulate a vision of those values
for his own troubled period of the Wars of the Roses. This book
further explores the contribution Malory's art of characterization
makes to the literary and aesthetic power of the Morte Darthur.
Each chapter's focus on individual characters makes the book not
only an integrated thematic overview, but also a useful reference
for focused study of particular Arthurian figures. As such, the
book is designed to meet the interests and needs of both
professional scholars and students of Arthurian and medieval
literature.
