This brisk retelling of Le Morte D'Arthur highlights the narrative
drive, humor, and poignancy of Sir Thomas Malory's original while
updating his fifteenth-century English and selectively pruning
over-elaborate passages that can try the patience of modern
readers. The result is an adaptation that readers can enjoy as a
fresh approach to Malory's sprawling masterpiece. The book's most
famous episodes--the sword in the stone, the cataclysmic final
battle--are all here, while lesser-known key episodes stand forth
with new brightness and clarity. The text is accompanied by an
up-to-date bibliography, including websites and video resources,
and a descriptive index keyed--like the retelling itself--to the
book and chapter divisions of William Caxton's first printed
edition of 1485.
