New Scholarship: Brandon on Mordred

From the latest number of Arthuriana:


Brandon, Jessika. "Sister's Son: Aspects of Mordred and the Avunculate in La Mort le Roi Artu and the Stanzaic Morte Arthur." Arthuriana, vol. 34 no. 2, 2024, p. 3-15. Project MUSE, https://doi.org/10.1353/art.2024.a932120.

Mordred in La Mort le Roi Artu and the Stanzaic Morte Arthur displays positive and chivalric attributes in a surprising manner. This article proposes that these qualities stem from his genealogical status in the form of 'double kinship' as nephew and son to Arthur. (JB)
