Malory, Sir Thomas: Le Morte d'Arthur, v.1, 18 Nov 2007.
Quote:
Thomas Malory was, by all accounts, a rogue, as well as a (now) distinguished author. His rampant criminality (cattle rustling, ambush with intent to murder, robbery, extortion, rape, insulting an Abbot, etc) is why he spent significant parts of his life in prison, and were it not for the length of his final prison term we may not have Le Morte d'Arthur at all, because it was then, in prison, that he wrote its 507 chapters and more than 300,000 words. "Le Morte d'Arthur" is Middle French for "la mort d'Arthur": the death of Arthur. It was first published in 1485 by William Caxton. The cover is from an edition illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley.
