ARTHURIAN STUDIES LXXI
MALORY’S LIBRARY
THE SOURCES OF THE MORTE DARTHUR
The
fi
rst book-length study of the sources of Sir Thomas Malory’s
Morte Darthur
since 1921 and the
fi
rst comprehensive study since
that of Vinaver’s three-volume edition,
Malory’s Library
collects
the results of over one hundred years of scholarship, providing
new discussions of the major sources of the eight tales recognised
in the standard edition. It also, for the
fi
rst time, explores possible
minor sources of the
Morte Darthur,
evaluating the case for them
to see what conclusions may be drawn of Malory’s life, work, and
mental furnishings. In so doing, it clarifies the process by which
Malory created his work. It shows that Malory carried an eclectic
body of literature in his mind and worked at least partly from
memory; and it illuminates his interest in characters of his own
social class, the breadth of his enthusiasm for Arthurian literature,
and the depth of his commitment to provide his countrymen with
‘the hoole book of kyng Arthur and of his noble knyghtes of the
Round Table’.
