    Learned introductions to a variety of sociohistorical contexts appear alongside original readings of the Morte, making this a valuable resource for any student or teacher of Malory. Chapters focused on context cover diverse topics, from Malory’s style to the nature of chivalry and the treatment of women within the larger narrative. Chapters dedicated to textual analysis are organized according to separate tales, with some chapters covering more than one tale.
