Description
Sir Thomas Malory's compilation of the famous stories of King Arthur and the round table. The seminal English language interpretation of the Arthurian legend, Mallory drew heavily from French sources like the Lancelot-Grail cycle (this influence inspired the French title) along with some older English works.
One of the first books published in England using the printing press, Le Morte D'Arthur was extremely popular when first published in the 15th century. This popularity, combined with the Malory's comprehensive and effective story-telling, caused Le Morte D'Arthur to influence many later authors' interpretations of Arthur, including T. H. White's The Once and Future King.
