Thomas Malory - Le Morte D'Arthur - Volume I (of II)
The original spelling was Le Morte Darthur, which was Middle French for "the death of Arthur," and is one of the most famous works in English Literature. It is a re-working of traditional tales by Sir Thomas Malory about King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table though there are several original additions by him including the Gareth story. Little is known about Sir Thomas Malory and, indeed, it is only since the late nineteenth century that he has been identified with some certainity as Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire, a knight, land-owner, and Member of Parliament. In addition to his title and standing he appears to have suffered several bouts of imprisonment, mainly on charges that seem to have been politically trumped up. Le Morte d'Arthur was first published in 1485 by William Caxton,

The Gentry Context for Malory's Morte Darthur
She shows how the themes of political governance and royal succession, which are of primary importance in contemporary historical chronicles and genealogies, informed the political thinking of Malory's readers; and demonstrates how debates over ideas of worship, fellowship, lordship, and counselling indicate a process of change in the gentry's political attitudes and values, their sense of identity, and also their response to the Arthurian story."--BOOK JACKET.
Sir Thomas Malory
The Critical Heritage gathers together a large body of critical sources on major figures in literature. Each volume presents contemporary responses to a writer's work, enabling students and researchers to read for themselves, for example, comments on early performances of Shakespeare's plays, or reactions to the first publication of Jane Austen's novels. The carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of criticism to journalism and contemporary opinion, and little published documentary material such as letters and diaries. Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included, in order to demonstrate the fluctuations in an author's reputation. Each volume contains an introduction to the writer's published works, a selected bibliography, and an index of works, authors and subjects. The Collected Critical Heritage will be available as a set of 68 volumes and the series will also be available in mini sets selected by period (in slipcase boxes) and as individual volumes.
The Works of Sir Thomas Malory
Since the publication of the three-volume edition of "The Works of Sir Thomas Malory" in 1947 more has been written on Malory than during any comparable period in the past, and the time seems opportune for a re-issue in a revised form of the text and the critical apparatus, including the Introduction and the Commentary. Without departing form the method of editing adopted in the first edition the editor has endeavored to produce a more fully reconstructed text which in no fewer than two hundred passages comes closer to Malory's own. The revision has involved a fresh examination of all the material, and due account has been taken of the vast body of recent Malory criticism. -- From publisher's description.
