Abstract

The author presents a criticism of the 19th century English poems "The Defence of Guenevere" and "King Arthur's Tomb" by William Morris. He discusses the forms of discourse used by both Guenevere and Lancelot in the poems, the inadequacy of those discourses, and the contradictions that they present.
