Description
Le Morte Darthur, Or, The Hoole Book of Kyng Arthur and of His Noble Knyghtes of the Rounde Table is presented in its unabridged form, with original spelling and extensive marginal glosses and footnotes. This edition provides a faithful representation of the text as it was intended by its author, based on two surviving witnesses: Caxton's 1485 print and the famous Winchester Manuscript.
The Norton Critical Edition is notable for its recovery of important elements from the Winchester Manuscript, including paragraphing, marginal annotations, and hierarchies of narrative division. The edition also features striking rubrication of proper names in black-letter font, recreating an authentic medieval reading experience.
With this edition, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Malory's representation of a chivalric ideal, supported by visual elements that enhance the text. No other student edition offers such extensive contextual and critical support, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and enthusiasts alike.
