Chivalry is not dead!

Central figures in "The Matter of Britain," King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table still inspire many books and films today. Drawing on the legends of Camelot from French and English sources, Sir Thomas Malory compiled the drama of illicit love, the magic of sorcery, and the quest for the Holy Grail into a sordid and chivalrous tale that's been recounted for centuries.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sir Thomas Malory (c. 1415-18 – 14 March 1471) was an English writer, the author or compiler of Le Morte d'Arthur. Since the late nineteenth century, he has generally been identified as Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire, a knight, land-owner, and Member of Parliament. Previously, it was suggested by antiquary John Leland and John Bale that he was Welsh (identifying "Malory" with "Maelor"). Occasionally, other candidates are put forward for authorship of Le Morte d'Arthur, but the supporting evidence for their claim has been described as "no more than circumstantial".

overall it is enjoyable if you are a fan of the arthurian legend and want to know more about the knights/damsels in more detail (it has good character development, could be complicated) . the phrases can get abit repetitive especially in the battle scenes (limited style). the vocabulary is elegant and gives you a feeling of actually being in the legend itself. i personally loved it and read it along with 'sir gawain and the green knight'if you are looking just to read the story casually the abridged versions might be better suited .

I bought this as a gift for someone who is fascinated by all things Arthurian, but I didn't want to give it away. It's gorgeous, and it seems to be a good translation. I love it. I did give it to the intended recipient, despite my selfish impulses, and they loved it, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deluxe Edition of a Classic at an Amazing Price
Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2019

I’m assuming you’re familiar with the some of the stories surrounding King Arthur and his knights. This is, of course, only one version, but one of the later ones, and rightly considered among the best (although the older High Book of the Grail is perhaps more interesting).

What’s remarkable about this book is for sixteen bucks you get an illustrated, well-bound volume that looks nice on the shelf and is a pleasure to hold in your hands. (I have no idea what the one reviewer was talking about concerning nudity in the illustrations. There just isn’t any.)

Before Kindle, before trade paperbacks, people had the pleasure of books like this.

This is not the version popular in Victorian times with the unsavory bits cut out, either. The Grail cycle is not an exemplar of sacramental marriage, for example. This is Christianity painted over an older culture and the chapel is never far from the Faerie. That complicated, dreamlike quality has fascinated people for centuries.

Wonderful edition of a classic story of adventure, mystery, enchantment and strange tragic fates.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely bound volume, I need more for this book
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2024
Verified Purchase
The Canterbury classics are nicely bound guilt-edged volumes, and they are fine for most books. Le Morte de Arthur is something that I need a little help with, so after struggling for a while, I found a scan of one that was published in the late 19th century from the University of Michigan archives. I was able to get a glossary and index with that. I ended up purchasing the Barnes & Noble version that has a glossary and index included, and I am much happier with that.

Nice looking book both inside and out. I haven’t read it yet, but it is full of different stories, includes some pictures, and has small text. I stress, again, that the book does have a beautiful quality to it that is not oversold in the ad. I have bought other books from this company and they all look great!

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2017
Verified Purchase
I had heard about this book since I was a child, I am now 77 years old, and was never in the position to purchase it until recently. I have always been fascinated with the myth of King Arthur due to history classes in school and afterwards by reading and watching movies about him. Working on my family tree and delving into the past on my maternal, English, side I have found much history. Ancestors such as Kings Henry I, II, III, King John I, some Scotish kings, French kings, Spanish kings and Portuguese kings, William the Conqueror, Charlemagne, and many other nobility So far it has been worth the wait to obtain the book, it is slow reading due to the use of Olde English, hahahaha. Yes I am enjoying the book very much. I want to thank you for the fast delivery to me.
