Description

"Merely a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to popularise the Arthur legends. It is little else than an abridgment of Sir Thomas Malory's version ... with a few additions from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other sources--and an endeavor to arrange the many tales into a more or less consecutive story."--Pref.

An architect who also became one of Victorian Britain’s notable editors, he moved easily between building design, literature, and public debate. He is best remembered for founding The Nineteenth Century, a magazine that drew leading voices of the age into conversation.

Sir Thomas Malory

d. 1471

Best known for shaping the most famous English telling of King Arthur, this 15th-century writer helped fix the Round Table in the literary imagination. Much about his life remains uncertain, which only adds to the pull of his story.
