Arguably no medieval English literary work has had as far and wide
a reach as Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur; among the many
adaptations are Tennyson's "Idylls of the King", T.H. White's The
Once and Future King and the Lerner and Loewe musical Camelot. It
might also be argued that the late twentieth- and early
twenty-first-century tradition of fantasy literature-from Tolkien's
Lord of the Rings to George Lucas's Star Wars and beyond-owes much
to the Arthurian tradition, rooted in English most strongly in
Malory's Morte Darthur. Yet there has been no edition that draws on
the results of the past generation's scholarship while presenting
Malory's work in a form that is at once true to the original and
accessible to the modern reader. This new edition, which expands on
the revised and expanded selection of Malory material that will be
included in the third edition of The Broadview Anthology of British
Literature, is all of those things. The extensive selections
include most of the material concerning Launcelot and all of the
Morte's two final tales; the language has been partially modernised
to make the text accessible to the modern reader, while retaining
the flavour of the original; the text has been carefully prepared
from the Winchester manuscript; and the annotations are extensive.
