These versions were thought to be collaterally related through a common source to an original lost manuscript, until in 1977 new evidence suggested a linear descent. Dr Tieken-Boon van Ostade's study supports this argument, first through a detailed refutation of Vinaver's arguments for collateral descent, then through an analysis of the incidence of multiple negation in both versions of the \u003ci\u003eMorte Darthur\u003c\/i\u003eand the conclusions to be drawn from it. A reconstruction of the events leading to Caxton's publication of the text at a politically hazardous time completes the volume.Dr \u003ci\u003eINGRID TIEKEN-BOON VAN OSTADE\u003c\/i\u003eis lecturer in English at the University of Leiden.
