Review # 1 was written on 2015-04-30 00:00:00 William Garcia This is the second companion I read to help me get through "Le Mort D'Artur" and I am only in chapter X! I am glad to have it read it though, and to have it done so after "The Cambridge Companion to the Arthurian Legend." Deductive reading I suppose. As the Cambridge volume, this too is divided in two sections. The first one includes chapters giving general context to the "Hoole" book: gender, historical background'excellent'sources, language'much needed in my case'and a short biography of Malory himself. The second half assesses the different tales. They have been a good summary of those I have already read, and yes, they are helping me getting through Tristram veeery slowly. Ok, there is a third one-chapter section covering the impact of Malory's Works until the beginning of the 20th century that complements what is said in the Cambridge Companion. Considering how inexpensive it is'compared to most scholarly books you can find on the subject'I would recommend it to anyone like me, who is struggling with Malory.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-01-21 00:00:00 Donnie Vanhook This is a book of essays on Sir Thomas Mallory's Morte d'Arthur. Some were pretty good; some were amazing. I loved revisiting Mallory's work, and I'm glad I took my time with this. It was almost too much to take in all at once.
