A classic retelling of the Arthurian legends, presenting the lives of King Arthur and his knights in a clear and enduring narrative form for modern readers.
James Knowles's The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights offers a structured and accessible rendering of the central stories of the Arthurian cycle, drawing on medieval sources while presenting them in a unified prose narrative. The work traces the rise of Arthur, the fellowship of the Round Table, and the moral and chivalric ideals that define the tradition, including the quests, conflicts, and betrayals that shape the legend.
First published in the nineteenth century, Knowles's retelling became one of the most widely read introductions to Arthurian literature, valued for its clarity and narrative cohesion. While grounded in earlier sources such as Malory, the work reflects Victorian editorial sensibilities, presenting the material in a form suited to general readership without sacrificing the essential structure of the legend. It remains a foundational text for readers seeking an entry point into the Arthurian tradition.
