Master’s Thesis, Marshall University, 2010
Abstract: By examining both William Caxton’s edition and the Winchester manuscript of Malory’s King Arthur tales, readers can begin to understand the editorial theory issues associated with these dissimilar texts.

However, each version offers advantages and disadvantages of Malory’s work, culminating in the need for both versions to exist and to be studied.
