Abstract:Sir Thomas Malory's efforts in his Morte Darthur to represent Queen Gwenyvere and Queen Isode as being no more or less flawed than their male counterparts betray his own ethical uncertainty as author and adapter of his source materials for an audience including women.

Abstract:This article focuses on Gawain’s emotions in Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, arguing that Gawain’s performance of emotions is intrinsic to both his religious practice and spiritual growth. Gawain’s emotionology is a complex one, and more in-depth work is required to better understand his characterisation, as well as his spiritual trajectory. (RR)

The collection is a worthy addition to the series of volumes from the Romance in Medieval Britain conferences, with much to offer scholars of romance and related genres.

Abstract:The enigmatic medieval Welsh tale Rhonabwy’s Dream depicts an oneiric immersion in the Arthurian world. As Rhonabwy travels backwards through time, his experiences dramatize the stakes of direct encounter with history. The narrative thus explores and critiques the causal relationships between past, present, and text in Arthurian literature. (SL)

Abstract:This article explores how the Alliterative Morte Arthure’s myriad messengers deliver both explicit and implicit imperialistic messages, arguing that Arthur himself is the poem’s pivotal messenger. A close examination of these communications reveals the imperial ambitions inherent in Arthur’s delivery of messages rife with bodily and embodied significance. [PJZ]
