With an Introduction by
Helen Moore
The legend of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table is one
of the most enduring and influential stories in world literature. Its
themes - love, war, religion, treachery and family loyalty - are timeless,
as are the reputations of its major characters, Arthur, Merlin, Guenever
and Launcelot. Malory's Le Morte Darthur is a story of noble knights,
colourful tournaments and fateful love, set in a courtly society which
is outwardly secure and successful, but in reality torn by dissent
and , ultimately, treachery.
Originally published in 1485, Malory's Le Morte Darthur is here presented
in modern spelling and is accompanied by an Introduction and helpful
Glossary.
