If I ever lived other lives, MZB reached the part of me that would be imprinted with those memories, and then left me hanging to discover them on my own. Perhaps if I read this in a chronological order I might enjoy it more, but it just seemed to lack the depth of the other books. The imagery is powerful, and the feminist themes are still strong, both of which are hallmarks of the series. All stay true to their character from the first word to the last. Read An Excerpt.

  • Guinevere, the Superwoman of Contemporary Arthurian Fiction
    Guinevere, the Superwoman of Contemporary Arthurian Fiction James Noble In a perceptive article published in 1987, Elisabeth Brewer explores attempts by early twentieth-century dramatists and more recent novelists to transform Guinevere from a peripheral into a central figure in the Arthurian story.1 Although she does not see any of these efforts as improving upon the better known, though decidedly more misogy- nist, depictions of Guinevere by Malory and Tennyson, what Brewer has to say in her arti- cle has some interesting implications for revisionist treatments of the Arthurian legend published since the early 1980s, the point at which her study ends. Foremost among the trends identified by Brewer is the attempt by writers like T. H. White in The Once and Future King (1958) and Godfrey Turton in The Emperor Arthur (1967) “to depict Guenevere with the psychological realism of the modern novel.”2 Brewer credits these novelists with creating a Guinevere who is psychologically complex, albeit neither as physically nor as emotionally appealing as the Guinevere who is to be found in the more recent novels of Victor Canning (The Crimson Chalice, 1976), Cather- ine Christian (The Pendragon, 1979), and Mary Stewart (The Last Enchantment, 1979, and The Wicked Day, 1983). Though also aiming for psychological realism, Canning, Christian, and Stewart represent a fictive trend that, according to Brewer, seeks to “update the figure of Guenevere in terms of the images created by the modern media,”3 particu- larly “The image of the athletic, healthy young woman, so familiar in the cinema and on 1 Brewer, “The Figure of Guenevere.” 2 Brewer, “The Figure of Guenevere,”283.
