Synopsis

Malory took Celtic legends, which had gone into French literature by way of Brittany, gave the tales an English perspective, and produced a work which ever since has had tremendous influence upon literature. Commencing with Arthurs beginnings, it follows Arthurs claim to the throne, his rule of Britain, and the war that followed, with romances intertwined. Galahads appearance at Camelot begins the quest for the Holy Grail.

About Sir Thomas Malory

Sir Thomas Malory (1400?–1471) of Newbold Revel served with Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick; was knighted in 1442, and was elected a member of parliament in 1445. For whatever reason, he turned to a life of irresponsible violence and spent most of his last twenty years in prison until his death in 1471. It was during his imprisonment that he composed, translated, and adapted his great rendering of Arthurian material, which has served as source and influence for all succeeding Arthurian literature, including Tennyson’s Idylls of the King.
