spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/10196 The art of magical narrative Clatworthy, Janine Medieval English Studies Bibliography: leaf 61. What is a magical narrative? How can the inconsistencies and strange repetitions in the plots of Malory's Arthurian cycle be explained? What are their purposes and why are they essential to the plot? In this dissertation, I have attempted to answer these questions by applying Anne Wilson's theory of magical narrative (The magical quest) to a selection of tales from the beginning of Malory's Arthurian cycle (The tale of King Arthur) and from the latter half (The book of Sir Launcelot and Queen Quinevere). 2014-12-27T14:00:32Z 2014-12-27T14:00:32Z 2001 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10196 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
