Study Of Arthurian Romances: With Emphasis To Thomas Malory

View through CrossRef
The expedition on Malory’s Morte d’Arthur emphasis on the masculine activity of chivalry—fighting, questing, ruling— while parallelly reflects the chivalric enterprise as impossible in absence of the feminine in a subjugated position.
