Excellent- More about Arthurian Literature XXXVII: Malory at 550: Old and New
New and fresh assessments of Malory's Morte Darthur are presented in the essays, which emphasize the second part of its remit. Several contributors focus on Malory's style, arguing for a deeper appreciation of his merits as an author. There is a renewed need to re-assess the possible originality of his Tale of Sir Gareth of Orkeney, and fresh approaches are taken to re-examining Malory's attitude to time and the sacred, Launcelot's status as a victim of sexual violence, and the importance of rejecting Victorian moral attitudes towards Gwenyvere and Isode.

The essays in this collection explore Sir Thomas Malory's influential work, Le Morte Darthur, delving into its various aspects. The contributors focus on the second part of the work's remit, emphasizing Malory's style and its potential for a deeper appreciation. They argue that Malory's use of stock phrases, metaphors, characterization, and manipulation of sources reveals him as a skilled author. Some essays argue that Malory's reputation as an artist surpasses what was recognized in his time, leading to a re-evaluation of the originality of his Tale of Sir Gareth of Orkeney. Fresh approaches are also taken in The Sankgreal, exploring Malory's attitude to time and the sacred, the significance of Lot and his sons' ghosts in highlighting potential failures in the Round Table Oath, and the complexities of Arthurian hospitality.
The remaining contributions address new perspectives on Malory's narrative gaps, Launcelot's status as a victim of sexual violence, and the importance of rejecting Victorian moral attitudes towards Gwenyvere and Isode. The contributors argue for a more nuanced understanding of these characters and their roles in the story.
This collection offers fresh assessments of Malory's Morte Darthur, shedding light on its themes, characters, and narrative techniques. It contributes to the ongoing discussion of Malory's work and its enduring significance in medieval literature and culture.
