Scholars mostly of English literature but also philosophy explore how English writer Thomas Malory (d. 1471) portrayed and appropriated Christianity in his Arthurian cycle La Morte Darthur.
Among the topics are the tragedy of his Lancelot and Guinevere, endless virtue and Trinitarian prayer in Lancelot’s healing of Urry, secularized salvation, and what Malory can offer
non-religious readers. The nine essays are from a series of sessions at the May 2005 and 2006 International Congresses on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Medieval Institute
