It also, for the first time, explores possible minor sources of the \u003ci\u003eMorte Darthur\u003c\/i\u003e, evaluating the case for them to see what conclusions may be drawn of Malory's life, work, and mental furnishings. In so doing, it clarifies the process by which Malory created his work. It shows that Malory carried an eclectic body of literature in his mind and worked at least partly from memory; and it illuminates his interest in characters of his own social class, the breadth of his enthusiasm for Arthurian literature, and the depth of his commitment to provide his countrymen with \"the hoole book of kyng Arthur and of his noble knyghtes of the Round Table\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  RALPH NORRIS teaches in the Department of English at Kennesaw State University.","brand":"Ralph Norris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48280503451899,"sku":"9781843841548","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781843841548.jpg?v=1772487503","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/malorys-library-the-sources-of-the-imorte-darthuri-9781843841548","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
