Abstract:The complex intertextuality of T.H. White's The Once and Future King problematizes definitions of source and adaptation in medievalism. Positioned as a footnote to, a preface to, and a commentary upon Malory's Morte Darthur, White's work demonstrates the productive possibilities of adaptive relationships that frustrate our attempts to 'taxonomize' them.

“一种承载理念的容器”：怀特《曾经和未来的国王》中令人沮丧的适应分类法

摘要：TH White 的《曾经和未来的国王》的复杂互文性使中世纪主义对来源和改编的定义产生了问题。怀特的作品定位为对马洛里的 Morte Darthur 的脚注、序言和评论，展示了适应性关系的生产可能性，这些可能性挫败了我们对它们进行“分类”的尝试。
