Le Morte d'Arthur: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

by Thomas Malory, Stephanie Lynn Budin PhD (Introduction)

Overview

Chivalry is not dead!

Central figures in "The Matter of Britain," King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table still inspire many books and films today. Drawing on the legends of Camelot from French and English sources, Sir Thomas Malory compiled the drama of illicit love, the magic of sorcery, and the quest for the Holy Grail into a sordid and chivalrous tale that's been recounted for centuries.

Editorial Reviews

"Le Morte d'Arthur remains an enchanted sea for the reader to swim about in, delighting at the random beauties of fifteenth-century prose."
—Robert Graves
