  • The Book of Quests
    THE BOOK OF QUESTS uests are the driving force in the life of every noble Knight. So it should Qbe no surprise to find Quests at the very heart of Shadows over Camelot. While the content of the Rules Booklet should be familiar to every aspiring Knight, the Book of Quests is primarily a reference, written for inquisitive Knights in search of insight, or the scheming Traitor looking for a lethal edge. In the back of this book you will find two appendices. The first, unearthed from , old manuscripts, offers a glimpse of each Knight s personality. The second is a detailed manifest of each card used in the game. In this booklet, page numbers given in reference point to the corresponding entries in the Rules booklet, unless indicated otherwise. nnnnnnnnnn THE QUESTS nnnnnnnnnn There are several “Standard” Quests in Camelot’s immediate vicinity: N The Tournament against the Black Knight N The Quest for Lancelot N The Dragon’s Quest N The Quest for Excalibur N The Quest for the Holy Grail N The Pict and Saxon Wars each with its own entry in the Book of Quests. For each Quest won or lost, new Swords are laid onto the Round Table. As the game progresses, the Swords show which side currently has the advantage. There are also two “Special” Quests within Camelot proper, where a defeat spells immediate doom for the Loyal Knights: • The Siege of Camelot, which is lost if 12 Siege Engines ever surround Camelot; • and The Quest of the Round Table, where the outcome of the game is decided in favor of whichever color Swords have the majority, once 12 or more have been laid down.

  • Katherine Gubbels in the Words of One of My Students, Sir Gareth Is “Kind
    THE FAIR (AND QUEER) UNKNOWN IN MALORY’S “THE TALE OF SIR GARETH” Katherine Gubbels In the words of one of my students, Sir Gareth is “kind of a weird knight.” And, after considering Lot’s youngest son and his struggles from kitchen boy to verbal whipping post to impotent lover, I am inclined to agree. After all, while the narrative presents itself as a prototypical “fair unknown” tale, a simple sampling of Gareth scholarship evidences the fact that critics, much like my student, are a bit unsure of what to make of this particular text. Although much of the scholarship focuses on the narrative’s source material, or lack thereof,1 other studies posit readings of Gareth as a manipulator, a product of alchemy theory, a man on a quest for social stability, and a knight hoping to critique and improve the courtesy of Camelot.2 Perhaps some of the confusion arises from seeming contradictions within the piece itself. Indeed, Emily Rebekah Huber points out that Gareth may in fact be read as “flexible.”3 Despite the fact that her study is primarily on Gareth’s nameless dwarf and the part he plays in Gareth’s progression as a knight, her insight nonetheless points to a certain indefinability, inconsistency, or ambiguity on the part 1 On the origins of Le Morte Darthur, see Eugène Vinaver, ed., “Introduction,” in Malory Works, ed.

  • Love, Freedom, and Marital Fidelity in Malory's Morte
    FLORILEGIUM 10, 1988-91 LOVE, FREEDOM, AND MARITAL FIDELITY IN MALORY’S MORTE DARTHUR Beverly Kennedy Sir Thomas Malory has little to say about women in his Morte Darthur, but this is hardly surprising. His decision to retell the entire history of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table necessarily entailed a primary focus upon knighthood (and its principal functions, war and governance), from which women were barred by virtue of their sex.1 Therefore, the rela­ tive lack of interest which Malory shows in women should not necessarily be taken as a sign that he is, as one feminist critic has alleged, “misogynistic” or “homoerotic” (Stiller 94). In fact, if we examine closely Malory’s repre­ sentation of courtship and marriage — a sphere of human activity within knightly society where men’s and women’s interests and activities converge — we will realize that he is not at all “misogynistic.” On the contrary, he is remarkably sympathetic towards women. I In Malory’s day, young women were expected (and sometimes forced) to marry according to the wishes of their family, even though the Church taught that the sacrament of marriage was not valid unless both parties freely consented to it. This had been the teaching of the Church since 179 180 FLORILEGIUM 10, 1988-91 the twelfth century (Noonan, Sheehan). Nevertheless, even three hundred years later, among Malory’s social milieu, i.e., the gentry and lesser nobility, families continued to arrange marriages for political and economic benefit, without much regard for the feelings of their children. Contemporary doc­ uments like the letters of the Paston family reveal that young woman were much more likely than their brothers to be coerced into marriage (Haskell).

  • Women's Medicine and Female Embodiment in the Morte Darthur, A
    Women’s Medicine and Female Embodiment in the Morte Darthur, a Middle English Trotula Treatise, and The Mists of Avalon by Emily Gaudet Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia August 2016 © Copyright by Emily Gaudet, 2016 Table of Contents Abstract…………………………………………………………………………………………...iii Chapter 1 Introduction…………………………………………………………………………….1 Chapter 2 “Softely Handel Þe Moder”: Women’s Medicine in Malory and a Middle English Trotula Treatise……………………………………………………………………………………4 Chapter 3 “Morgaine Speaks”: Écriture Féminine and Women’s Medicine in the Mists of Avalon……………………………………………………………………………………………22 Chapter 4 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………….37 Works Cited……………………………………………………………………………………...39 ii Abstract This thesis compares the representation of women’s medicine in Malory’s Morte Darthur, a Middle English Trotula treatise, and Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon. Specifically, it uses the portrayal of women healers in the Trotula treatise and The Mists of Avalon to perform a reparative reading of the Morte Darthur, filling in the gaps of women’s embodied experience that are mostly absent from Malory’s text. The intention of this thesis is not to criticize Malory for misogyny, or to rank these three texts according their level of feminism. Rather, it is to show that reading a variety of genres beside each other – a romance next to a medical treatise, next to a contemporary novel that uses écriture féminine – can reveal aspects of women’s experience in the texts that would not otherwise be visible. In short, it explores how Bradley draws on the seeds of feminism in the Arthurian legend to attempt to represent women’s embodiment more fully.

  • Britain's Time: Sir Thomas Malory's Morte D'arthur
    BRITAIN’S TIME: SIR THOMAS MALORY’S MORTE D’ARTHUR, BOOK VII In this paper we aim at analyzing the category “time” in one of the books included in Sir Thomas Malory's version of the story of King Arthur and his court of knights. In particular, we will study book VII -“Sir Garethis tale of Orkeney that was callyd Bewmaynes by sir Kay”- from the above mentioned novel, Morte D'Arthur (15th. century), one of the most outstanding examples of the “matter of Britain” in the Isles. We have divided our paper into two parts, the first one being a theoretical revision of the concept of time, focusing our attention on four basic types and their relationship with the medieval consideration of “reality”. At last, the second section will contain an exploration of the way time was represented in the tale and of the narrative structures present in it. To start with, we have assumed the statement by Jacques Le Goff (1965: 223) which claims the existence of more than one representation of time inside the medieval conscience. That's why it is convenient to establish a typology of the notion of time in the Middle Ages, taking into account that it has to be very closely related to two factors which dominated the historical conscience of the medieval man: the real and the “marvellous”. By that time, two kinds of reality co-existed; one of them physical and apprehensible, the life people lived day by day, a life to work, love, meet other people, learn, and a threatening or hostile life, in fact, because of the frequency of wars or illnesses which caused a great harm to the whole population.
