" The adventures of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table have enthralled readers for over 500 years.
Malory's Le Morte Darthur is the best-known and most influential work of fifteenth-century English literature, with descendants as wide-ranging as Tennyson's Idylls, the musical Camelot, and the movies of Monty Python.
This outstanding one-volume edition brings the age of chivalry to life in clear, compelling language that preserves all the excitement of the original masterpiece.
The glorious tournaments, epic battles, the perilous quest for the Holy Grail, the tragic romances of Tristan and Iseult, of Lancelot and Guinevere, are as thrilling today as they were five centuries ago. "

" This superb one-volume edition is edited by R.M. Lumiansky, a distinguished medievalist who has modernized the text to offer "a highly accessible and readable version." (Booklist). "

Contents include:
