- Title
'Not Quite Dead Yet': Zombies and Le Morte Darthur.
- Authors
ARMSTRONG, DORSEY
- Abstract
The article explores the concept of a "zombie sensibility" in Sir Thomas Malory's book Le Morte Darthur and its implications for the chivalric society depicted in the text. It examines the idea of immortality associated with zombies and how it adds to their horror, paralleling King Arthur's status as the "Once and Future King." It also highlights that George Romero's film Night of the Living Dead heralded the rise of zombies in visual media, forever altering the landscape of popular culture.
