Summary:As important as much-studied Malory is the generational resolution that scholarship undergoes and the fresh insights that result. In the present collection, eight essayists range from deconstructionist through reader-response theories to source studies as they view and re-view Malory's once and future king. Is Arthur the symbol of stable kingship? Ginger Thornton finds otherwise. Jeanne Drewes examines the question of identity among the knights, while Sally Firmin brings light to Malory's use of forests. Feminist concerns inform Krista May and Ginger Thornton's discussion of the Grail redemption theme. The Arthur-Guinevere-Launcelot love triangle is the subject of three other essays, and Jeffrey Morgan concludes with a look at Malory's "double ending."
