Malory wrote this tale by synthesizing various Arthurian sources, the most important of which being the Post-Vulgate cycle. Malory’s work features a division between the Christian realm of Camelot and the pagan forces trying to destroy it.

    INTRODUCTION What is he? I do not mean the force alone- The grace and versatility of the man! Is it not Lancelot? -Tennyson, The Idylls of the Xing. There is scarcely anyone in our time to whom the name "Lancelot" does not have a familiar sound. The average person's acquaintance with the deeds of this noble knight is likely to come from motion pictures that, while trying to portray the impossible, have such promising titles as "The Sword of Lancelot," "The Knights of the Round Table," and "Camelot," this last being an insipid version of T. H. White's enormously successful and still widely read Tlze Otzce and Future Kitzg. It is only the more serious student of English letters who derives his knowledge of Lancelot and Guinevere from the reading of Malory's Le Morte Darthrtr or Tennyson's Tlze Idylls of the Kitzg. Among these readers, Lancelot is generally recognized as King Arthur's most gallant knight and the unswerving but secret lover of Queen Guinevere, an austere and almost saintly man whom passion stirs only when he is in the direct service of his love. Lancelot's prominence throughout the last centuries is a strange phenom- enon, especially when we consider that another great Arthurian lover, Tristan, whose philosophy of love corresponds much more to our modern ideal, would most likely be forgotten if it were not for the music of Wagner. And who would seriously believe that Lancelot, the foreigner, barely eked out an existence in the literature of late medieval England while the figure of the indigenous Gawain towered gigantically over the literary horizon of that era? Perhaps ir would be even more startling to discover that Lancelot as a knight of the Round Table and as a lovcr of Queen Guinevcre is a com- paratively late addition to the Arthurian legend.

At the beginning of the epic, Uther Pendragon is King of all England. He lusts after Igrainewife of the Duke of Tintagil. They eventually conceive a child together, named Arthur, who is raised by a surrogate family and is prophesized by the sorcerer Merlin to become High King and to unite the kingdom. Chaos ensues after the death of Uther, and the throne remains empty until a young Arthur pulls the sword Excalibur from a stone, which makes him King of all England. Naturally, there is dissention among the other lesser kings, who think Arthur is unworthy of his position. This leads to war, and young King Arthur prevails. Meanwhile, Arthur learns his true identity and accepts his fate. Unfortunately, he has already conceived a child with his half-sister. The child, Mordred, is destined to destroy Arthur and his kingdom. In the meantime, King Arthur establishes a code of ethics for the Knights of the Round Table, which helps maintain the peace of the kingdom until it is unfortunately divided from within. Book I, as mentioned, heralds the birth of Arthur and his rise to power. Their tale ends when the brothers tragically kill each other over a case of mistaken identity.

GODDESS DETHRONED: THE EVOLUTION OF MORGAN LE FAY by DAX D. CARVER Under the Direction of Timothy M. Renick ABSTRACT In the Arthurian romances of the Middle Ages, the character of Morgan le Fay was transformed dramatically from her Welsh original, the goddess Modron. The effect was to vilify the enchantress so that medieval Christians would not be sympathetic to her character. This study consults the oldest available Welsh mythological and historical texts as well as the medieval romances surrounding King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Also consulted are some of the top contemporary Arthurian scholars. By unraveling Morgan’s transformation and the reasons for such change, it is revealed that medieval demonizing of old pagan deities was not limited to male deities.

    ABSTRACT Characterizing Action: Sir Thomas Malory’s Development of Character in Le Morte Darthur Amanda Leigh Keys, M.A. Thesis Advisor: D. Thomas Hanks, Jr., Ph.D. Sir Thomas Malory too often is considered to be a redactor of other tellings of the Arthuriad, uninterested in developing characters and overly invested in narrating action scenes in Le Morte Darthur. This thesis brings together analysis of various characters in the Morte, with emphasis on Arthur, Guinevere, and Launcelot, toward the argument that Malory in fact creates his characters through their actions with a specific vision for the conclusion of his unique Arthuriad.
