Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur: Edited With Notes, and Glossary The aim in these selections from Le Morte Darthur has been to present connected wholes rather than fragmentary and mutilated passages. Hence Books I and XVIII are printed with only minor omissions, and Books II, XIII, XVII, XXI, without abridgment. These six books contain some of the choicest portions of the Morte Darthur, and are really representative of its character. Of course there are other extended passages and even whole books that might well have been included. The chief regret of any lover of the Morte Darthur is at being obliged to make selections at all. Of the omitted portions perhaps Books VII and XII appeal most strongly to the general reader. d104. - The text here offered follows letter for letter Caxton's edition of 1485 (as reprinted by Sommer in 1889), but with certain modifications made necessary by the plan of the Athenaeum Press Series.

This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Le Morte Darthur of Sir Thomas Malory Its Sources Mediaeval mystics have a word for us, mediaeval music sounds around our altars, mediaeval art claims an ever-larger measure of devotion, and mediaeval literature waits to be studied as one of the great imaginative expressions of the race. In this literature, romance holds a leading place. True, the Latinists of the Middle Ages have a power and a value hardly yet appreciated; it has been rightly pointed out that Carlyle, Ruskin, Bergson, would have written in Latin had they lived in the thirteenth century, and the mediaeval philosophers and theologians are as great men as their modern successors. But the writings in the vernacular are warmer with the touch of life. Among these, the romance-cycles are of prime importance, among those cycles, none is so central as the Arthurian, and in the long development of Arthurian romance, Malory's Morte, for English readers at least, marks the glorious consummation. That is the reason for this book. In the revival of mediaeval studies, three phases may be distinguished: there is a sentimental approach, there is a scholastic approach, and there is an interpretive approach made possible by the other two. The first approach, eagerly sympathetic but uncritical, marked the early years of the modern romantic movement; but its superficialities were checked before long, and a serious scholarship arose for which one can hardly feel too grateful.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Le Morte Darthur: Sir Thomas Malory's Book of King Arthur and of His Noble Knights of the Round Table WE owe this our English Epic of Le Morte Darthur to Sir Thomas Malory, and to William Caxton the first English printer. Caxton's Preface shows (what indeed would have been certain from his appeal to the 'knights of England at the end of 't he Order of Chivalry') that however strongly he, William Caxton, simple person, ' may have been urged to undertake the work by divers gentlemen of this realm of England, ' he was not less moved by his own love and reverence for the noble acts of chivalry, ' and his deep sense of his duty and responsibility in printing what he believed would be for the instruction and profit of his readers, of what ever estate or degree.' But to Sir Thomas Malory he gives all the honour of having provided him with the copy which he printed. And ever since, for more than four hundred years, successive generations have approved the fitness of Caxton's choice. For it is Malory's book, and not the older forms of King Arthur's story which we still read for enjoyment, and for the illustration of which scholars edit those earlier books. Only a true poem, the offspring of genius, could have so held, and be still holding its ground, age after age. It may be said that it is chiefly with boys, and with men who have formed the taste by their boyish read ing, that the book is so popular. But is not this so with the Iliad too? Men of mature intellect and taste read and re-read the Iliad with ever new discoveries, appreciation, and enjoyment; but it may be questioned whether there are many, or even any, of them who did not begin those studies at school, and learn to love Homer before they knew that he was worthy of their love. And they who have given most of such reading, in youth and in manhood, to Malory's Morte Darthur will be the most able and ready to recognise its claim to the character of an Epic poem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorsey Armstrong provides a new, Modern English translation of the MORTE DARTHUR that portrays the holistic and comprehensive unity of the text as a whole, as suggested by the structure of Caxton’s print, but that is based primarily on the Winchester Manuscript, which offers the most complete and accurate version of Malory’s narrative. This translation makes one of the most compelling and important texts in the Arthurian tradition easily accessible to everyone—from high school students to Arthurian scholars. In addition to the complete text, Armstrong includes an introduction that discusses Malory’s sources and the long-running debate surrounding the manuscript and print versions of the narrative. For ease of use, the text is keyed to both William Caxton’s print version and the manuscript version edited by Eugène Vinaver. A detailed index is also included.

One who wants to get joy of book reading especially in very less time can go for it. About The BookLittle is known of Sir Thomas Malory, who, according to Caxton, "did take out of certain French books a copy of the noble histories of King Arthur and reduced it to English." We learn from the text that "this book was finished in the ninth year of the reign of King Edward the Fourth, by Sir Thomas Malory, Knight." That would be in the year 1469. Malory is said to have been a Welshman. The origin of the Arthurian romance was probably Welsh. Its first literary form was in Geoffrey of Monmouth's prose, in 1147. Translated into French verse, and brightened in the process, these legends appear to have come back to us, and to have received notable additions from Walter Map (1137-1209), another Welshman. A second time they were worked on and embellished by the French romanticists, and from these later versions Malory appears to have collated the materials for his immortal translation. The story of Arthur and Launcelot is the thread of interest followed in this epitome.For more eBooks visit www.kartindo.com

Book excerpt: Excerpt from King Arthur and His Noble Knights: Stories From Sir Thomas Malory's Morte D'arthur There is no more delightful book of its kind in the English language than Malory's Morte Darthur, and there are few that in certain periods at least have had more numerous or more illustrious readers. It was written at a time when our language was greatly unsettled, and it undoubtedly exercised much influence in settling it. It furnished an excellent specimen and a conspicuous standard of English prose. At an epoch when the age of chivalry was swiftly passing away, it caught and preserved its fading colors. It reduced the old cumbrous and endless Romances to convenient and readable dimensions, and provided a charming summary of them both for its own age and all ages to come. With a volume of such importance in so many ways it is well to begin an acquaintance as soon as may be. And it is hoped that this selection and simplification of Malory's stories may be of service in introducing young students to one of the masterpieces of medieval literature, and in exciting in them a desire to know it fully and directly.
