Le Morte d'Arthur (originally written as le morte Darthur; inaccurate Middle French for "The Death of Arthur") is a 15th-century Middle English prose reworking by Sir Thomas Malory of tales about the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table, along with their respective folklore. In order to tell a "complete" story of Arthur from his conception to his death, Malory compiled, rearranged, interpreted and modified material from various French and English sources. Today, this is one of the best-known works of Arthurian literature. Many authors since the 19th-century revival of the legend have used Malory as their principal source. Apparently written in prison at the end of the medieval English era, Le Morte d'Arthur was completed by Malory around 1470 and was first published in a printed edition in 1485 by William Caxton. Until the discovery of the Winchester Manuscript in 1934, the 1485 edition was considered the earliest known text of Le Morte d'Arthur and that closest to Malory's original version. Modern editions under myriad titles are inevitably variable, changing spelling, grammar and pronouns for the convenience of readers of modern English, as well as often abridging or revising the material. This edition described by the publisher as 'The Globe Edition' it is edited with an introduction by Sir Edward Strachey. Ref U 7. …

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. New Edition. GIFT QUALITY 1984 hardcover. No dust jacket, as issued. UNREAD COPY with old-fashioned decorated maroon cloth cover. Bright and clean inside and out with sharp edges and corners. Very nice copy! This is a facsimile reprint of the 1894 Frederick Warne original. Delightful book of Edward Lear's classic nonsense verse for all ages, illustrated, and with introduction, by Sir Edward Strachey. "A handsome reprint anthology of Edward Lear's Victorian nonsense verse and prose, drawn principally from his Nonsense Songs, Stories, Botany, and Alphabets (1871) and its companion volumes. The collection gathers Lear's most enduring pieces ? "The Owl and the Pussycat," "The Jumblies," "The Dong with a Luminous Nose," "Calico Pie," "The Pobble Who Has No Toes," "The Quangle Wangle's Hat" ? alongside the absurd "Nonsense Botany" plates, the four "Histories" of the Little Children Who Went Round the World, and several illustrated alphabets. Lear's own pen-and-ink drawings run throughout. His tone is the distinctive Lear blend: melancholy yet absurd, deeply musical, populated by invented words ("runcible," "scroobious," "borascible") that have since slipped into English. He effectively founded the English nonsense tradition that runs through Lewis Carroll to Spike Milligan and Edward Gorey. The Chancellor Press edition is a gift-style hardcover that served as an accessible, well-illustrated introduction to Lear for a generation of British readers.".…
