Sarah:
I don't know if this is too basic, but until recently TEAMS
published a very helpful edition of both the Stanzaic Morte
and the Allterative Morte. The edition has a useful
annotated bibliography that gives a brief account of the
virtues of various editions of the poems, and a list of
secondary sources:
_King Arthur's Death: The Middle English Stanzaic Morte
Arthur and Allitertive Morte Arthure_ ed. Larry Benson,
revised Edward Foster (Kalamazoo, MI: 1994) ISBN #
1-879288-38-9.
Marie Borroff also has an extremely helpful bibliography on
metrics and style in alliterative verse in _Sir Gawain and
the Green Knight: A Stylistic and Metrical Study_ (Yale UP
1962).
I hope this helps,
Sharon Rowley
