The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights
by Sir James Knowles, Sir Thomas Malory
Chapters
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.

Sir Thomas Malory
d. 1471
Best known for shaping the English-language legend of King Arthur, this 15th-century writer gathered romance, chivalry, betrayal, and tragedy into the work later published as Le Morte Darthur. Though much about his life remains uncertain, his storytelling became one of the foundations of the Arthurian tradition in English.
