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.Arthurian and Courtly Cultures,2945-6924Literature, MedievalClassical literatureLiterature, AncientMedieval LiteratureClassical and Antique LiteratureLiterature, Medieval.Classical literature.Literature, Ancient.Medieval Literature.Classical and Antique Literature.823/.2Hodges Kenneth L1793640MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959900603321Forging Chivalric Communities in Malory's Le Morte Darthur4333574UNINA
