[191]-202) and index.Forging Chivalric Communities in Marlory's Morte D'Arthur shows that Malory treats chivalry not as a static institution but as a dynamic, continually evolving ideal. Le Morte D'arthur is structured to trace how communities and individuals adapt or create chivalric codes for their own purposes; in turn, codes of chivalry shape groups and their customs. Knights' loyalties are torn not just between lords and lovers but also between the different codes of chivalry and between different communities. Women, too, choose among the different roles they are asked to play as queens, counsellors, and even quasi-knights.Studies in Arthurian and courtly cultures.Arthurian romancesHistory and criticismRomances, EnglishHistory and criticismKnights and knighthood in literatureKings and rulers in literatureCommunities in literatureChivalry in literatureArthurian romancesHistory and criticism.Romances, EnglishHistory and criticism.Knights and knighthood in literature.Kings and rulers in literature.Communities in literature.Chivalry in literature.823/.2Hodges Kenneth L1508490MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784125803321Forging chivalric communities in Malory's Le morte Darthur3739880UNINA
