Synopsis
Excerpt from Le Morte Darthur of Sir Thomas Malory Its Sources
In the revival of medieval studies, three phases may be distinguished: there is a sentimental approach, there is a scholastic approach, and there is an interpre tive approach made possible by the other two. The first approach, eagerly sympathetic but uncritical, marked the early years of the modern romantic move ment; but its superficialities were checked before long, and a serious scholarship arose for which one can hardly feel too grateful. M. Joseph Bedier, himself one of the most notable contemporary scholars, ap praises its work with rare felicity.
