No other edition accurately represents the actual (and likely
authorial) divisions of the text as attested to by its two
surviving witnesses Caxton s 1485 print and, especially, the famous
Winchester Manuscript. The Winchester Manuscript is now generally
agreed to be the more authentic of the two earlier texts. The
Norton Critical Edition is the first edition of Malory to recover
important elements of this manuscript: paragraphing marginal
annotations hierarchies of narrative division as signaled by size
and decorative intricacy of initial capitals and font changes The
Norton Critical Edition also represents, in black-letter font, the
striking rubrication of proper names in the Winchester Manuscript,
reconstructing for readers something of an authentic medieval
reading experience, one which gives visual support to Malory s
extraordinary representation, in character and setting, of a
chivalric ideal. No other student edition of Malory contains such
extensive contextual and critical support."
