Stories of King Arthur and His Knights (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) Illustrated edition

Le Morte d?Arthur (spelled Le Morte Darthur in the first printing and also in some modern editions, Middle French for la mort d?Arthur, ?the death of Arthur?) is Sir Thomas Malory?s compilation of some French and English Arthurian romances. Sir Thomas Malory (c. 1405-1471) was believed by the antiquary John Leland to be Welsh, but most modern scholarship assumes that he was Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire. Malory probably started work on Le Morte d?Arthur while he was in prison in the early 1450s and completed it by 1470. The book contains some of Malory?s own original material (the Gareth story) and retells the older stories in light of Malory?s own views and interpretations. First published in 1485 by William Caxton, Le Morte d?Arthur is perhaps the best-known work of English-language Arthurian literature today. Many modern Arthurian writers have used Malory as their source. Influenced by this courageous and beautiful story, they have produced various versions with various titles.
