An Apology for the Life of Colley Cibber
Due to the lack of records there is a lot of guess work in this, all based on what appears to be sound reasoning though, and pointed out as guess work by the author. Seems very well researched, impressive bibliography.
The first half of this can be a bit dry at times as it sets the scene and establishes the background for Malory's life. Interesting times indeed, the 100 Years War, the War Of The Roses and all the political and fuedal manipulation that was going on. The importance of pagent is made plain, which is reflected in Morte and it's many tournaments. The importance of loyalty and blood too.
Explains a fair bit about the Caxton printed Morte and the more recently discovered Winchester manuscript version.
Also goes into the complex legal and political background. Looking at Malory's arrests, escapes, charges, accusers, and also the wealth and respect he ended his life with.
