LAID TO RU: A GAY ARTHURIAN ROMANCE (LANCELOT'S FALL BOOK 1) KDLE EDN

The Arthurian love triangle of Arthur/Guevere/Lancelot has always had a ht of homoerotism —and romantic feelgs between Lancelot and Arthur seem a reasonable reason to many for why Arthur would not do anythg about his bt iend sleepg wh his wife. Luddgton may be the first one overtly to pict a homosexual relatnship between Arthur and Lancelot, but the possibili have been implied or suggted numero Arthurian works, pecially the twentieth century. Even as far back as Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur, there are homoerotic hts cross-drsg scen and a scene where two knights accintally end up bed together.

Dorsey Armstrong’s Genr and the Chivalric Communy Malory’s Le Morte D’Arthur has explored this topic and how the knights of Camelot themselv are aware of the possibily of homosexual mors surroundg a group of men an anizatn like the Round Table. Beardsley, who may have been homosexual or asexual, was known for his androgyno lookg characters his Arthurian illtratns, and for very erotic works, plete wh enlarged genalia, other works not geared toward children.

But Whe and Bradley only ht at homosexualy.

In Joan Wolf’s The Road to Avalon (1988), Agrivae is homosexual and the downfall of Camelot largely due to his jealoy bee of his csh on Bedwyr, the Lancelot character this novel. Douglas Clegg go even further Mordred, Bastard Son by pictg Mordred as homosexual—and while Mordred is not a villa this book (’s only the first of a planned trilogy), homosexualy beg associated wh him seems to imply a negativy to .

I thk ’s bee while the other works pict homosexual sir not acted upon, San Luddgton is the first thor to pict actual sex between Arthur and Lancelot— fact, her reviewers are llg the book an adult versn of the Merl TV seri.

And while Luddgton might be gettg hate mail, she’s also found a gay rearship longg for such stori, and her Kdle sal are reportedly skyrocketg.
