Abstract
Abstract:This article explores how the Alliterative Morte Arthure’s myriad messengers deliver both explicit and implicit imperialistic messages, arguing that Arthur himself is the poem’s pivotal messenger. A close examination of these communications reveals the imperial ambitions inherent in Arthur’s delivery of messages rife with bodily and embodied significance. [PJZ]
