A new look at Morgana in Excalibur:
Lifshitz, Felice. “Destructive Dominae: Women and Vengeance in Medievalist Films.” Corporate Medievalism. Ed. Karl Fugelso. Studies in Medievalism 21. Cambridge, Eng.: D. S. Brewer-Boydell & Brewer, 2012. 161-190.
Sponsored by The Alliance for the Promotion of Research on the Matter of Britain, the "Matter of Britain on Screen" blog is designed as an aid to explorations of the transformations undergone by the Matter of Britain as it is translated to film, television, and related electronic media, such as games and internet video.
Excalibur is not a thing, something you can hold in your hand.
Excalibur is the good in you.
The power to do good, to stand up for what's right, to slay dragons, to capture bank robbers.
You always carry Excalibur in your heart.
Robert Tinnell, Kids of the Round Table (1995)
