Contested Language In Malory's Morte Darthur: The Politics Of Romance In Fifteenth-Century England (Arthurian And Courtly Cultures)

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.
