Abstract
Abstract:This article looks at Malory's Gwenyvere and Elayne of Ascolat in the moments around their deaths and uses theories of ghosts and haunting to make sense of these moments. Both women communicate to Launcelot and the broader Arthurian community during death and from beyond the grave, and their messages call into question the male chivalric community and its understanding of love.
