The Life and Times of Sir Thomas Malory

"This definitive original spelling text edition of Malory's classic text has been described as a 'major event in the long history of Malory scholarship', and hailed as 'our standard critical edition of Malory'." --Publisher description.

The Original Text Edited from the Winchester Manuscript and Caxton's Morte Darthur

Le Morte Darthur

Sir Thomas Malory

"P. J. C. Field, the world's preeminent Malory specialist, has wisely chosen to offer here Malory's seventh and eighth tales, recounting the decline and end of Camelot. The authoritative text is accompanied by indispensable notes and preceded by a remarkably thorough and learned--but never obscure--Introduction sufficient to prepare students and other readers to profit fully from the texts. This book is ideal for those coming to Malory for the first time and a distinct pleasure for those who already know him well." --Norris J. Lacy, E. E. Sparks Professor of French and Medieval Studies, Penn State University "An extended introduction treats the Arthurian legend and Malory's sources, as well as the cultural contexts of the book, including the probable events of Malory's own life. The commentary is expanded from the first edition to offer detailed explanatory notes. Unfamiliar terms are glossed at the bottom of the page and a full glossary included. The scholarship is, as would be expected from Malory's great modern editor and biographer, comprehensive and impeccable." --Medium Aevum

Le Morte Darthur: The Seventh & Eighth Tales

This third edition of Vinaver's superbly annotated text of the Works provides a factually corrected version of the second edition, including reverified text and apparatus consisting of some 2,850 changes, and a completely revised index and glossary. In addition to the new changes, the volume offers the standard format of the previous two editions, including a definitive biography and literary interpretation of Malory, an essay describing the texts on which the edition was established, the Caxton printing, a lucid and highly readable introduction, full critical apparatus, and numerous relevant quotes from unpublished sources.
