Literary notes about therewith (AI summary)
"Literary authors have long employed 'therewith' to link actions, ideas, and events, imbuing their narratives with a formal, almost ceremonial tone. In many chivalric and legendary texts, especially within medieval romances such as those by Malory [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], the word functions to indicate that an action is carried out using or following immediately from a previously mentioned object or circumstance. In sacred and historical writings, like the Bible [10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16] and chronicles [17], 'therewith' serves as an instrument or means by which a significant deed is executed. Even in more philosophical or poetic contexts [18, 19, 20, 21, 22], the term creates a rhythmic connection between clauses, emphasizing the causal or concurrent nature of consecutive events."
