... despite all of that, I say:  we have remarkably little sense of how the larger Arthuriana corpus (and which version(s) of it) map into (and/or otherwise influence/inform) the Dresdenverse.

Or have I overlooked a bunch of stuff?

Re: The larger sense of source material, I think Le Morte D'Arthur by Thomas Mallory may be a good candidate for sourcing and influencing Jim's interpretation.  I also think that it would be interesting if Elaine Mallory had some relation to the Arthurian legends.  I haven't read Le Morte in years, but may pick it up over the holiday to see if anything jumps out.

There's maybe an Elaine or two in the Arthur/Merlin corpus... or three, or a dozen...
