It maintains its tradition of diverse approaches to the Arthurian tradition - albeit on this occasion with a particular focus on Malory, appropriately reflecting one of Professor Archibald's main interests.    It starts with the essay awarded this year's D.S. Brewer Prize for a contribution by an early career scholar, which considers the little-known debt owed by early modern sailors to Arthurian knighthood and pageantry. The essays that follow begin with a wide-ranging account of manuscript decorations and annotations in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia, before turning to the Evil Custom trope in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Further contributions explore the formalities of requests and conditions in Malory's '\"Tale of Gareth\", emotional excess and magical transformation in several scenes across the Morte Darthur, tensions between public and private and self and identity in Malory's \"Sankgreal\", and friction between the (external and imposed) law and (internal and subjective but honourable) code of chivalry, especially apparent in Malory's final Tales. The last article examines the ways in which Mordred's origins in modern Arthurian fiction build on Malory's false, or forgotten, promise to relate Mordred's upbringing. The volume closes with a short tribute to Elizabeth Archibald, highlighting her leadership in the field and her encouragement of scholarly collaboration and community.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51055359721745,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51055362834705,"sku":"NIN9781843847182","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51698367955217,"sku":"NGR9781843847182","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530765267217,"sku":"NLS9781843847182","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1843847183.jpg?v=1750930113"},{"product_id":"arthurian-literature-xl-book-megan-g-leitch-9781843847403","title":"Arthurian Literature XL","description":"Arthurian Literature has established its position as the home for a great diversity of new research into Arthurian matters. It delivers fascinating material across genres, periods and theoretical issues. TLS  Appropriately for the journal's fortieth milestone, this volume of Arthurian Literature offers an especially wide range of topics, from printers' modifications in early Arthurian books to a study of archetypal characters in several linguistic traditions. It begins with the winner of the Derek Brewer Essay Prize, which has this year been awarded to an original and intriguing investigation of how and why Wynkyn de Worde (or various of his staff working under his direction) modified his 1529 printing of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur. Thereafter, literary-critical explorations range across French, Welsh, and Middle English Arthurian literatures, including examinations of marriage in Chrétien's Chevalier au Lion, Peredur in the Welsh Grail texts, fairies and cosmic providence in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and the shifting degrees of agency possessed by Malory's Gwenyvere. The volume also features a lively reconsideration of the Arthurian tomb at Glastonbury from the point of view of material culture, and an examination of Arthur's hagiographical characterisation in Latin-Breton Saints Lives'. It closes with a survey of twentieth-century English-language retellings of Arthurian fiction that highlights female authors' many contributions to the genre.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51632090644753,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51632091037969,"sku":"NIN9781843847403","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51632091398417,"sku":"NGR9781843847403","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530774180113,"sku":"NLS9781843847403","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/184384740X.jpg?v=1751411646"},{"product_id":"arthurian-literature-xxxvii-book-megan-g-leitch-9781843846352","title":"Arthurian Literature XXXVII","description":"New and fresh assessments of Malory's Morte Darthur.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52353530429713,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52353531019537,"sku":"NLS9781843846352","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781843846352.jpg?v=1758183010"},{"product_id":"new-companion-to-malory-book-megan-g-leitch-9781843845232","title":"A New Companion to Malory","description":"A comprehensive survey of one of the most important texts of the Middle Ages.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530742493457,"sku":"NLS9781843845232","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781843845232.jpg?v=1760653681"},{"product_id":"arthurian-literature-xxxvi-book-megan-g-leitch-9781843846048","title":"Arthurian Literature XXXVI","description":"Arthurian Literature has established its position as the home for a great diversity of new research into Arthurian matters.
