Episode 21: Le Morte D'Arthur
from Undertowers Podcast Hosted by undertowerspodcast
Sir! It is time to have passing good cheer ‘round the (small) round table as we dive head first into the vast plentitude that is Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur. This conversation twists and turns into many a blind alley as we reckon with the mighty weight of Malory’s telling of the birth, life, and death of the Once and Future King. Morte is the first known telling of the entire story of King Arthur and we had a blast digging into it. We also discussed the trailer release for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu as we patiently await it’s release this Christmas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nulvWqYUM8k For the curious here is some light reading on the Morte manuscripts and some images of the two extant versions: https://sianechard.ca/web-pages/caxton-and-winchester/ Images of the Winchester Manuscript http://www.maloryproject.com/image_viewer.php?gallery_id=8&image_id=131&pos=1 Images of the Caxton Manuscript http://www.maloryproject.com/image_viewer.php?gallery_id=4&image_id=978&pos=1 Give us a like and subscribe!
