The Two Versions of Malory's Morte Darthur: Multiple Negation and the Editing of the Text (Arthurian Studies) (Volume 35) by Tieken-Boon van Ostade, Ingrid

D.S. Brewer, Cambridge, first edition, 1995. Cloth, paper title-label, 8vo, 24 cm,. 169 pp, tables. Malory's Morte d'Arthur survives in two versions: the Winchester manuscript, which has been dated 1469-70, and the edition Caxton published in 1485. These versions were thought to be collaterally related through a common source to an original lost manuscript, until in 1977 new evidence suggested a linear descent. Dr Tieken-Boon van Ostade's study supports this argument, first through a detailed refutation of Vinaver's arguments for collateral descent, then through an analysis of the incidence of multiple negation in both versions of the Morte d'Arthur and the conclusions to be drawn from it. A reconstruction of the events leading to Caxton's publication of the text at a politically hazardous time completes the volume." - from the publisher's description. As New.
