- Description
- Argues that the "interpretive reading" underlying T. H. White's uses of William Twiti's "The Art of Hunting" as a source in "The Once and Future King" is similar to medieval rhetorical techniques of amplification. Exemplifies similar kinds of creative interpretation in Bernard of Clairvaux's Sermons, Thomas Malory’s "Le Morte Darthur," and ClT, where the narrator’s "exclamatory interjections are a means of amplification to address a perceived absence or fault in the affective qualities of the source material."
