The discussion of textual issues is helpful, and the annotations to the text itself are very well done. --Alex Mueller, University of Massachusetts, Boston The new introduction to Malory for The Broadview Anthology of British Literature is excellent. The discussion of textual issues is helpful, and the annotations to the text itself are very well done. --Alex Mueller, University of Massachusetts, Boston I am most impressed with the elegant selection and presentation of Malory's great romance in this new edition. A great deal is cut, for students and general readers who do not have time to read the whole. But everything truly essential is here, with a proper emphasis on Malory's women, who have fascinated readers since the Victorian era. This will be the edition of choice not only for literary surveys and introductory medieval courses but also for courses in Arthurian literature and in the history of romance and fantasy. I highly recommend this book. -- Nicholas Watson, Harvard University The new introduction to Malory for The Broadview Anthology of British Literature is excellent.
