Synopsis "Le Morte D'arthur: King Arthur and the Legends of the Round Table (Signet Classics) "

From the incredible wizadry of Merlin to the passion of Gwynevere and Sir Lancelot, these tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table offer epic adventures with the supernatural as well as timeless battles with our own humanity. In a time when there were damsels in distress to save and mythical dragons to slay, King Arthur and his knights were there to render justice in the face of any danger. Keith Baine's splendid rendition of Le Morte d'Arthur faithfully preserves the original flavor of Malory's masterpiece--that of banners and bloodshed, knights and ladies, Christians and sorcerers, sentiment and savagery. It remains a vivid medieval tapestry woven about a central figure who symbolizes the birth of an age of chivalry. Includes an Introduction by Robert Gravesand an Afterword by Christopher Cannon

Robert Graves (Wimbledon, 1895 – Deià, Mallorca, 1985) was a British writer, poet, and essayist whose work ranges from war poetry to historical novels and mythological essays. He participated in World War I, an experience he depicted in his autobiography Goodbye to All That (1929). He studied at Oxford and was a professor of English literature at the University of Cairo. In 1929, he settled in Deià, Mallorca, where he lived for most of his life. His literary output includes more than 140 works, noted for their erudition and narrative style.

Among his most recognized works are I, Claudius (1934) and its sequel Claudius the God and His Wife Messalina (1943), historical novels that were successfully adapted for television. In the field of essays, notable works include The White Goddess (1948) and The Greek Myths (1955), where Graves offers a reinterpretation of classical mythology from a poetic-anthropological perspective. These works have been influential in the study of mythology and comparative literature.
