The contexts for the The Once and Future King are here expertly analysed through the lenses of previously unpublished materials from the Ransom Center, by the late novelist and poet Kurth Sprague. The author concentrates on White's misogyny as a result of his reaction to his difficult mother Constance, but he equally focuses on the charm of White's other queen, Guenevere. Nothing had more impact on White than his mother, his dogs, and his friendships , and this book enables us to see the development of White's monumental and symphonic work.
