Description
1908 King Arthur Lancelot Knights of Round Table Morte Darthur Caxton BINDING
In 1485, “Le Morte Darther” or, “The Death of Arthur” was first published – the first time the traditional tales of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table finally was available to be read, instead of just told as a mythical story. It is, without equal, the best-known work of Arthurian literature and is a principal source for many plays, operas, and modern stories.
This classic, early 20th-century edition uses the original translation of William Caxton which uses original spellings of Old English words. Note the beautiful red leather and cloth bindings – a truly remarkable set!
