About this product

Product Information

This book is the first systematic study in decades of Malory's development of his characters in the Morte Darthur. Focusing on sixteen key figures in the most important medieval English treatment of the Arthurian saga, it examines Malory's thematic characterization of individual rulers, knights, and ladies in keeping with the twin trajectories of his history of the Round Table and fifteenth-century English history. Looking at how Malory develops his characters as exemplars of kingship, knighthood, and womanhood, the book traces the medieval author's exploration of the values constituting chivalry as embodied in individual characters, a process that enabled him to formulate a vision of those values for his own troubled period of the Wars of the Roses. This book further explores the contribution Malory's art of characterization makes to the literary and aesthetic power of the Morte Darthur. Each chapter's focus on individual characters makes the book not only an integrated thematic overview, but also a useful reference for focused study of particular Arthurian figures. As such, the book is designed to meet the interests and needs of both professional scholars and students of Arthurian and medieval literature.

Reviews
Each of this book's 15 chapters treats a character found in Malory's Morte Darthur . . . As the title reveals, this study of Malory's construction of character focuses on the roles that chivalry, kingship, and womanhood play in shaping a character's trajectory over the course of the text. Rovang is a good close reader of Malory, and . . . the chapters benefit from his familiarity with the characters, plots, subplots, and themes that abound in the Morte. Some of the especially good chapters (e.g., those on Palomides and The Lady of the Lake) serve as fine introductions to the characters and what scholars have said about them. . . .Rovang . . . demonstrate[s] the interconnectedness of the characters., In Malory's Anatomy of Chivalry: Characterization in the Morte Darthur, Paul R. Rovang provides an illuminating and useful study of sixteen characters in the Morte Darthur. . . .This broad focus, concentrating on less well-known characters, male and female, alongside the principal Arthurian figures, is a strength of this study. . . .[T]hroughout he makes use of well-chosen examples and quotations and offers some excellent close readings of his materials. . . .In Malory's Anatomy of Chivalry, Rovang has...produced an engaging, well-written, and thought-provoking study, which will be of value to both experienced and first-time readers of the Morte Darthur., Rovang's book is a welcome addition to Malory studies. . . . this book has many strengths and is one that I am sure that I will turn to again and again for consultation in years ahead.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
