{"product_id":"le-morte-darthur-selections","title":"Le Morte Darthur: Selections","description":"\u003cp\u003e\nArguably no medieval English literary work has had as far and wide a reach as Sir Thomas Malory’s \u003cem\u003eLe Morte Darthur\u003c\/em\u003e; among the many adaptations are Tennyson’s \u003cem\u003eIdylls of the King\u003c\/em\u003e, T.H. White’s \u003cem\u003eThe Once and Future King\u003c\/em\u003e, and the Lerner and Loewe musical \u003cem\u003eCamelot\u003c\/em\u003e. It might also be argued that the late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century tradition of fantasy literature—from Tolkien’s \u003cem\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e to George Lucas’s \u003cem\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/em\u003e and beyond—owes much to the Arthurian tradition, rooted in English most strongly in Malory’s \u003cem\u003eMorte Darthur\u003c\/em\u003e. Yet there has been no edition that draws on the results of the past generation’s scholarship while presenting Malory’s work in a form that is at once true to the original and accessible to the modern reader.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis new edition, which expands on the revised and expanded selection of Malory material that will be included in the third edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Broadview Anthology of British Literature\u003c\/em\u003e, is all of those things. The extensive selections include most of the material concerning Launcelot, and all of the \u003cem\u003eMorte\u003c\/em\u003e’s two final tales; the language has been partially modernized to make the text accessible to the modern reader, while retaining the flavor of the original; the text has been carefully prepared from the Winchester manuscript; and the annotations are extensive.\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66233394299229,"sku":null,"price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781554811595.jpg?v=1792202278","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/le-morte-darthur-selections","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
