Le Morte D'Arthur
First published by William Caxton in 1485, Sir Thomas Malory's unique and splendid version of the Arthurian legend tells an immortal story of love, adventure, chivalry, treachery, and death. The rousing epic of King Arthur and his court has had a lasting effect on the traditions and literature of the English-speaking people. These well-known tales represent the bridge between pagan and Christian, Druid and Dominus. Arthur emerges at the end of the Roman Empire and the beginning of a British nation.
"The Matter of Britain, as the Arthurian legends are called, holds as much power for the contemporary reader as it did for medieval lords and ladies... the author strips from Arthurian legend all he considers dross, and so reveals the original British warrior-hero who resisted the Saxons in the fifth century.
