Beginning with a consideration of Malory's ingenious chronology, this study shows that Malory achieved thematic and structural unity by selecting from the great mass of Arthurian legend three narrative strandsthe intrigues of Lancelot and Guinevere, the Grail quest, and the feud between the houses of Lot and Pellinoreusing these to illustrate a single themethe rise, flowering, and downfall of an ideal civilization.
