Description

Le Morte d'Arthur is a book by Thomas Malory, first published in 1485. This seminal work is the definitive English retelling of the legends of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the quest for the Holy Grail. Drawing on earlier French and English sources, Malory weaves a sweeping narrative of chivalry, love, betrayal, and heroism that captures the moral and spiritual ideals of the medieval world. The book chronicles Arthur’s rise and fall, the noble deeds and tragic fates of Lancelot, Guinevere, Gawain, and others, and the ultimate collapse of Camelot. Written during a time of political turmoil in England, the work also reflects a sense of nostalgia for lost ideals and order. Its influence on English literature and Arthurian tradition is profound, shaping the mythology for generations and inspiring countless adaptations in literature, art, and modern storytelling.
