Recensioner i media

“Wyatt’s work makes for an interesting and thought-provoking read, and will be informative for scholars of women and gender in Malory, as well as those with an interest in his use of Arthurian source material. It suggests other potentially fruitful areas of study for future scholars to explore and develop, including the effect of medium (letters, spoken word) on the female voice and construction of character in Arthurian literature.” (Rebecca E. Lyons, Modern Language Review, Vol. 114 (3), July, 2019)
