Abstract

In a sense, a book is completed only when the reader has added his imagination to that of the writer, in order to appreciate as fully as possible what is represented on the printed page; and this is true particularly of a work capable of as many shades of meaning as the Grail theme in Malory's Le Morte Darthur and its source. Is it possible to judge objectively both the degree to which such subjective interpretation have grasped the meaning intended by the author, and the point at which some obscurity in literary rendering makes such differences of opinion possible? This study, grown from an attempt to re-appraise my own understanding of Malory, has attempted to do so.
