THE BORGIAS ↳ 3.01 | the face of death

[lizardsfromspace]

Checking in periodically that the Ianto shrine still exists, and usually finding evidence via posts by people in Cardiff confused at learning it's a memorial to a fictional character who died sixteen years ago and not like, a memorial to a real person who drowned. It's a testament to the Power of Stories blahblahblah but is also such a preposterous thing to exist. That loser Sherlock Holmes only has one plaque at Reichenbach Falls so I think it's clear Who won Superwholock

can we talk about how funny it is that tennyson just decided that he shipped two different people to what was generally accepted as canon so he just. changed it. just changed the couple in his arthuriana texts. knew no one could stop him and went for it.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Thomas Malory is not and should not be treated as the be-all and end-all of medieval Arthurian literature.

[pgwodewose]

I feel like I ought to elaborate (in part because I swore to myself a while back that I wouldn't do these sorts of snappy, "hot take" type posts ever again, but here we are). So:

I am not saying you can't or shouldn't enjoy Malory, nor I am saying there is no literary value or fascination in Le Morte d'Arthur, nor am I saying we should ignore Malory altogether.

What am I saying is that Malory shouldn't be treated as The Arthurian Author, and Le Morte d'Arthur shouldn't be treated as The Bible of Medieval Arthurian Literature.

It should go without saying that the Arthurian literary tradition is vast (to say the very least), and it would be a mistake to treat any single text as The Authoritative Text.
