Le Morte D'Arthur -Vol. 2- continues Thomas Malory's great English gathering of the legends of King Arthur, Sir Lancelot, Queen Guinevere, the Knights of the Round Table, and the fall of Camelot. Drawing on French and English romance traditions, Malory shaped the Arthurian cycle into one of the central works of medieval English literature: a world of chivalry, quests, vows, betrayals, marvels, tournaments, spiritual trial, courtly love, and tragic collapse. Volume 2 contains some of the most powerful later movements of the Arthurian story, including the deepening of Lancelot and Guinevere's tragedy, the quest for the Holy Grail, and the forces that lead toward the death of Arthur.
First printed by William Caxton in 1485, Le Morte D'Arthur became the foundation for much later English-language Arthurian literature. Its influence runs through poetry, fantasy, historical romance, medieval studies, and modern retellings of the Matter of Britain. For readers of classic literature, medieval romance, Arthurian legend, chivalric adventure, literary fantasy, and the history of English storytelling, Malory's work remains one of the indispensable sources for the legend of Camelot.
