Abstract:
In The Witch in the Wood, T.H. White's depiction of the Orkney clan becomes a manifestation of his own grappling with tensions between England and Ireland and his personal relationship with these nations through references to Brian Merriman's Cúirt An Mheán Oíche and the works of Malory, among others.
