Morte Darthur is investigated for its reflection of the
contemporary political concerns Malory shared with the gentry class
for whom he wrote. This book sets Malory's Morte Darthur in the
context of the political concerns that he shared with the
fifteenth-century gentry readers for whom he wrote his book; the
author draws widely on their correspondence and readingmaterial,
but looks particularly at the political content of contemporary
miscellanies owned, commissioned and read by the gentry. She shows
how the themes of political governance and royal succession, which
are of primary importance in contemporary historical chronicles and
genealogies, informed the political thinking of Malory's readers;
and demonstrates how debates over ideas of worship, fellowship,
lordship, and counselling indicate a process of changes in the
gentry's political attitudes and values, their sense of identity,
and also their response to the Arthurian story. Dr RALUCA L.
RADULESCU is Lecturer in English at Bangor University.
