The Legend of King Arthur - The complete works of Sir Thomas Malory (Bog)

Sir Thomas Malory was a knight in the fifteenth century, who, while imprisoned, compiled the collection of tales we know as Le Morte D'Arthur, translating the legend of King Arthur from original French tales such as the Vulgate Cycle.

This single-volume edition of the complete works of Sir Thomas Malory retains his 15th-century English while providing an introduction, glossary, and fifty pages of explanatory notes on each romance.

... the general introduction and introductions to the tales in the commentary, although sometimes controversial and outdated, are basically Vinaver's. This is appropriate for this monumental work of scholarship that bears his name. ... students of Malory will welcome having a more accurate version of Vinaver's edition in print and will be grateful to Field for an impressive contribution to scholarship.'
