Sinopsis

The most famous English-language compilation of Arthurian legends ever issued. Originally titled 'The hoole booke of kyng Arthur and of his noble knyghtes of the rounde table,' this work was first published in 1485, it was one of the last major books to be published in Britain before the introduction of the printing press by William Caxton. It was also one of the first books to be published by Caxton, who also acted as editor for the work.This is not a 'mass market' edition but a high quality publication printed on white paper.The storyline, drawn partly from older Latin, Welsh, French, German, Norse and even Dutch epics, takes place in Britain and France during the fall of the Western Roman Empire. King Arthur, a legendary Celtic warrior-king, serves as a symbol for the final defeat of Rome, and also the emergence of the Medieval Courtly culture. Other events in the narrative take place in Rome and the Tigris-Euphrates river basin.The author divided the text into eight books, each dealing with a particular theme. Caxton broke these up further into twenty-one books. This Volume II of Le Morte d?Arthur contains Caxton?s Books X-XXI.
