Dr. Roland's essay is titled The Rudderless Boat: Fluid Time and Passionate Geography
in (Hardyng's) Chronicle and (Malory's) Romance.
Building on Don Kennedy's work, Roland's essay asserts that Malory's geographic imagination
has a strong debt to Hardyng's Chronicle, specifically in the way that Malory integrates
chronological geographic space into the more fluid landscape of romance. As maritime
criticism seeks to sail beyond the legacy of colonialism and exploitation to discover
a 'radical elsewhere, outside space and time', the malleability of medieval cartography
and the co-existence of romance time and chronicle time in Le Morte Darthur suggest the possibilities of just such a fluid geography.
