Teaching Malory's Morte Darthur with chronicles.(Sir Thomas Malory)
Abstract
Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur can be a difficult text to teach, especially in a literature survey course. One way to successfully teach the selections of Malory's work present in most anthologies of British literature is to eschew the practice of summarizing the majority of Malory's narrative, and instead focus on the stylistic and cultural similarities that Malory and his contemporary medieval chroniclers of the Wars of the Roses share.
