 Before Malory. Reading Arthur in Later Medieval England

Before Malory: Reading Arthur in Later Medieval England by Richard J. Moll is a comprehensive exploration of the Arthurian legends and their significance in the literary and cultural landscape of medieval England. In this groundbreaking study, Moll delves into the rich tapestry of Arthurian literature that predates Thomas Malory’s iconic Le Morte d’Arthur, shedding new light on the origins, development, and reception of these timeless tales.
