A comprehensive survey of Malory's Morte Darthur, one of the most
important texts of the Middle Ages.
Malory's Morte Darthur is now a canonical and widely-taught text. Recent
decades have seen a transformation and expansion of critical approaches
in scholarship, as well as significant advances in understanding its
milieux: textual, literary, cultural and historical. This volume adds to
and updates the influential Companion of 1996, offering scholars,
teachers and students alike a full guide to the text and the author. The
essays it contains provide a synthetic overview of, and fresh
perspectives on, the key questions about and contexts connected with the
Morte.
