This volume of essays is aimed at advancing the appreciation of
Malory, an author who has always been enjoyed by the common reader,
but is still sometimes underestimated by the critics. Despite an
increasing number of articles on Malory, there is a need for a
general survey of recent research, whichl> Aspects of Malory
/l>provides. The volume opens with a note by the late Professor
Vinaver on Malory's prose, and three essays on Malory's Englishness
and his English sources, including an essay by P. J. C. Field which
argues for an English rather than a French origin for the l>Tale
of Gareth/l>. This is followed by two essays on Malory's French
sources, by Jill Mann and Mary Hynes-Berry. Therence McCarthy
re-exasmines the sequence of the tales, and three further essays
look at the scribal and textual tradition of Malory's work, in
particular the relationship between the Winchester MS, Caxton's
printed version, and the history of the MS. Finally, Richard R.
Griffith reconsiders the authorship question, and proposes a
long-forgotten Thomas Malory as the most likely candidate. There is
a bibliography of recent research compiled by Professor Takamiya
.Full of sound scholarship'. TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENTVolume of
essays aimed at advancing the appreciation of Malory and providing
a general survey of critical research; topics covered include
Malory's sources, both French and English, the scribal and texual
