Knighthood in the Morte Darthur by Beverly Kennedy Pdf

`A lucid and rich analysis eminently suited to students at undergraduate and graduate levels.' CHOICEBeverley Kennedy puts Malory's concern with knighthood at the very heart of the Morte Darthur. She identifies three types of knight: the Heroic (Gawain), the Worshipful (Tristram and Arthur), and the True (Lancelot, Gareth and the Grail Knights), and argues that this knightly typology creates the thematic unity of the Morte Darthur. It also allows Malory to develop two quite different contexts, one pragmatic and political, the other religious and providential, within which the reader may judge why Arthur's reign ended in catastrophe.BEVERLEY KENNEDY is Professor of English at Marianopolis College, Canada.

Violence in Medieval Courtly Literature by Albrecht Classen Pdf

Although courtly literature is often associated with a chivalrous and idyllic life, the fifteen original essays in this collection demonstrate that the quest for love in the world of medieval courtly literature was underpinned by violence. Lovers were rejected, mistrust ruled, rape was a rampant problem, and marriage was often characterized by brutality. Albrecht Classen brings together an outstanding group of historical, cultural, and literary scholars in this volume to investigate the complicated, nuanced, and often surprising unions of love and violence in courtly medieval literature.

Summary of Thomas Asbridge's The Greatest Knight by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 William Marshal, the boy who was executed by King Stephen of England in 1152, began his life as the hostage given over to the crown as surety for his father’s word. He was a pawn in the great game of power and politics then being played out within a realm wracked by civil war. #2 The English kingdom was in the grips of a ruinous fifteen-year conflict between King Stephen and his cousin Empress Matilda. With the collapse of crown authority, local warlords were left to impose some semblance of order, and this was often abused. #3 The Norman invasion of England was successful, and the Anglo-Saxon society was not as uniform as it seemed. The ruling elite had a wealth of resources, and the country was ripe for exploitation. #4 The night of 25 November 1120, William Ætheling, the seventeen-year-old heir to the throne of England, threw a raucous, wine-soaked party. The next morning, two planks in the starboard hull shattered, and the princely craft began to take on water. Within minutes, everyone had drowned.
