Bøger af Charles Moorman

Designed for the professional scholar, the student, and the general reader with no training in Middle English, this edition brings together the tools for both introductory and advanced study. Charles Moorman has tried to make the text as readable, the notes as succinct and informative, and the glossary as useful as possible.

Disregarding the usual limited definitions which have controlled the study of heroic literature, he draws together these disparate works by proposing a theme common to them all: the opposition of two major figures whom he names king and captain.

This handy, compact, and authoritative volume provides readers and students with information about a multitude of Arthurian characters, places, themes, and topics from the first written records of early myths and legends through Sir Thomas Malory's epic Morte Darthur.
