Abstract

Against the background of the Christlike model incarnated by Perceval's sister, this essay reviews the central 'masculinities' presented in Malory's text to argue that Lancelot tries on and rejects the various modes of masculinity until accepting his final role which includes the Christlike and the feminine.
