1899 KING ARTHUR Le Morte dArthur Malory Caxton Knights Round Table Legend



In 1485, “Le Morte Darther” or, “The Death of Arthur” was first published – the first time the traditional tales of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table finally was available to be read, instead of just told as a mythical story. It is, without equal, the best-known work of Arthurian literature and is a principal source for many plays, operas, and modern stories.



This 1899 edition, published by MacMillan, includes Sir Edward Stracheys introduction as well as his revision of the 1485 original edition published by William Caxton, updating the language and style for 19th-century readers.
