Thomas Malory: Complete Works, Eugène Vinaver, 2nd ed.
Recommended edition
(Vinaver, 2nd ed.)
Starting in July 2018, Mythgard Academy will present a free seminar on Le Morte d’Arthur, the classic cycle of Arthurian tales retold by Sir Thomas Malory. The tales have been the source of many later retellings of the Arthur mythos, including, for example, The Once and Future King by T. H. White and the 1981 cinematic feature, Excalibur.
Written in Late Middle English, the Morte was first printed by William Caxton in 1485. Since then, many other versions and editions based on Caxton’s text - most them removing material from the original - have been printed. For this free Mythgard Academy seminar, we will be using the Eugène Vinaver version, specifically the second edition published by the Oxford University Press in 1971 (with a subsequent printing in 1977). This edition is generally available through Amazon and various used book sellers online. For a description of the differences between the Caxton and Vinaver editions of Malory, see this explanation.
