In Uther and Igraine , Warwick Deeping creates an elaborate narrative context for the tale of Uther Pendragon's great love for Igraine, the wife of Gorlois, the Duke of Tintagel. Deeping thoroughly re-inscribes the novel's three main characters, and in so doing anticipates several developments in Arthurian fiction that we tend to associate more with the second half of the twentieth century, especially with the novels of Mary Stewart and Marion Zimmer Bradley.
