La muerte de Arturo. E-book. Formato EPUB Sir Thomas Malory   -  Sir Thomas Malory, 2016  - 

Durante los años inciertos de la Guerra de las Dos Rosas, sir Thomas Malory (1408-1471), un caballero de vida azarosa, escribió, supuestamente desde la cárcel, la primera gran epopeya de la literatura inglesa a partir de su propia recopilación de viejas fuentes francesas y británicas que iba traduciendo a la vez que añadiendo ideas de su cosecha, hasta ir perfeccionando su obra a medida que avanzaba el libro, para culminar en los capítulos finales, que son los más admirables de cualquiera de las versiones artúricas. La obra se imprimió en 1485 en el taller de William Caxton, el primer impresor de Inglaterra, que la tituló Le Morte D’Arthur. Caxton prologó y unificó las ocho novelas que escribió Malory en veintiún libros, dando así coherencia temática a la maestría narrativa de su autor. Gracias a este libro, los relatos artúricos han conocido múltiples y variadas ediciones a lo largo de estos cinco siglos, siendo Malory, junto con Shakespeare y Chaucer, uno de los pocos autores ingleses de un pasado no cercano que siguen siendo leídos. Fruto tardío del medievo, Le Morte D’Arthur es sin embargo la versión «moderna» del universo artúrico y no ha dejado de inspirar recreaciones nuevas, desde Scott a Tennyson, Mark Twain o los pintores prerrafaelistas hasta las versiones más recientes de T. H. White o J. Steinbeck.

Le Morte d’Arthur : King Arthur and of his Noble Knights of the Round Table. E-book. Formato EPUB Sir Thomas Malory   -  Sir Thomas Malory, 2014  - 

Le Morte d'Arthur is a compilation by Sir Thomas Malory of romance-era tales about the legendary King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, and the Knights of the Round Table. Malory interprets existing French and English stories about these figures and adds original material. First published in 1485 by William Caxton, Le Morte d'Arthur is today perhaps the best-known work of Arthurian literature in English. Many modern Arthurian writers have used Malory as their principal source, including T. H. White in his popular The Once and Future King and Tennyson in The Idylls of the King. Sir Thomas Malory (died 14 March 1471) was an English writer, the author or compiler of Le Morte d'Arthur. Since the late nineteenth century he has generally been identified as Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire, a knight, land-owner and Member of Parliament. Previously, it was suggested by antiquary John Leland as well as John Bale that he was Welsh (identifying 'Malory' with 'Maelor'). Occasionally, other candidates are put forward for authorship of Le Morte d'Arthur, but the supporting evidence for their claim has been described as 'no more than circumstantial'.
