Description
 
In the The Defence of Guenevere, William Morris creates a realistic drama dealing with the illicit romantic passion between Queen Guenevere and Sir Launcelot, figures out of Arthurian romance.

In a speech resembling the dramatic monologues of Robert Browning, Guenevere both acts as her own defender and appears as an accuser before a hostile audience of knights.

Guenevere's speech, like a Browning's monologue, dramatizes the tension between the speaker and the audience. In a discursive speech with tangential arguments Guenevere attempts to delay her execution before Launcelot arrives.

CONDITION: Hard cover, published 1903, pocket sized book, some wear to maroon cloth cover, fading to spine, inscribed inside front cover, pages clean. 248 pages
