It's for a Uni assignment and I'm not getting anywhere. I need to write about Caxton's choice of vocab in comparison to Malory's. (Malory's was the original version - called the Winchester text - and Caxton based his version on Malory's one). Why does Caxton change Malory's vocab (e.g. malory writes 'sate sorrowing', caxton writes 'made...lamentations',etc)? What effect does this have on the general text? Why is C's version shorter?, etc. WHY OH WHY?! Any help would be appreciated!
