Morgan le Fay, Shapeshifter

" [A] useful reference for students and Morgan enthusiasts for its sheer ability to synthesize so much prior scholarship and provide intertextual readings of a wide range of Arthurian literature . . . Morgan le Fay, Shapeshifter regularly inspired me to want to turn to the texts or delve into the issues and questions Hebert raises. I have no doubt that the book ill spark further investigations into the character of Morgan and her changing status during various eras of Arthurian literature. " - Medievally Speaking

" Advanced scholars will find this book enlightening for the transhistorical connections it provides, but students new to the study of this enigmatic figure will find Hebert' s text invaluable . . . Hebert is committed to an expansive approach that probes boundaries rather

than creating them, forcing readers to interrogate their deeply entrenched expectations. " - Speculum

" Hebert' s book will have widespread interest, especially for advanced undergraduates and graduate students majoring in literature a

and/or women' s studies, art history, and media studies. It will serve as a resource for Hebert' s analysis and judgments regarding various works and also as a model of one scholarly way to examine a magnetic character - Morgan le Fay - over several centuries of primary works and through various historical, philological, and myth-centered approaches as well as various genres.
