Guenevere the Enchantress

This post-Dumezilian analysis to Fries' tripartite typology of female roles in Arthurian legend, primarily Malory, suggests that the rumors of Guenevere's witchcraft and the genealogy of Morgan confuse the boundaries of legitimacy and imply a latent counter-reading of Malory and a destabilization of the contraries in the Fries schema.
