Contested Language in Malory's Morte Darthur: The Politics of Romance in Fifteenth-Century England

by Ruth Lexton

Book Overview

Examining Malory's political language, this study offers a revisionary view of Arthur's kingship in the Morte Darthur and the role of the Round Table fellowship. Considering a range of historical and political sources, Lexton suggests that Malory used a specific lexicon to engage with contemporary problems of kingship and rule.
