Reviews

All essays are written by experts and reflect the erudite and sophisticated engagement these scholars have with Malory's text-its historical, cultural, and political contexts and especially recent theoretical concepts. This volume is required reading for those who wish to go beyond literary formalism. Among the standout and exceedingly current essays are those on gender, emotion, and secular and spiritual concerns in the text. Highly Recommended.
*CHOICE*

I will not hesitate to recommend the New Companion to undergraduate and graduate students. Taken together, the essays provide engaging and accessible investigations of important topics, issues, and questions relating to the Morte Darthur, and demonstrate a range of ways of reading and approaching the text.
*THE RICARDIAN*

An invaluable resource, which will doubtless, in turn, lead to further fruitful labour in that fair field.
