Abstract

Don Kennedy has done much to elucidate connections between Hardyng's Chronicle and Le Morte Darthur. In this essay I hope to honor Don by revealing possible authorial roles in manuscript formatting. I discuss manuscript layout in a range of Arthurian, romance, and Brut and Chronicle manuscripts to suggest that the rubrication of names in the Winchester manuscript is Malory's idea, but that Malory was inspired by ways in which Chronicle manuscripts (not the Cambridge Suite) emphasize Hardyng's positive portrait of earthly Arthurian chivalry.
