Morte Darthur - Sir Thomas Malory's Book of King Arthur and of his Noble Knights of the Round Table.
The Text of Caxton.
Edited by Sir Edward Strachey
Published by MacMillan And Co Limited: London 1928 1st Edition

"Le Morte Darthur, edited by Sir Edward Strachey and published in 1928, is a modernized edition of Sir Thomas Malory's 15th-century masterpiece chronicling the legendary tales of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the fall of Camelot. Strachey's edition retains the medieval charm of Malory's prose while offering updated spelling and punctuation for contemporary readers. The book follows Arthur's rise to kingship, the quests of knights like Lancelot and Gawain, the search for the Holy Grail, and the tragic unraveling of Arthur's realm due to betrayal, forbidden love, and war.

Strachey's editorial approach emphasizes clarity and accessibility while respecting Malory's original language and tone. He includes a thoughtful introduction that situates Malory's work in the context of English literature and medieval chivalric ideals. This edition helped revive interest in Arthurian legend during the early 20th century, offering readers both the romance and the moral complexity of the Arthurian tradition. It serves as a bridge between the medieval world and modern audiences, preserving the epic's grandeur while making it readable for a new generation."
