About

Translator James Cable makes one of the most exceptional medieval French Arthurian romances accessible to English-speaking readers. In the twilight of the Arthurian world, the Round Table is sadly diminished in numbers and in spirit after the Quest of the Holy Grail. The Death of King Arthur covers Lancelot’s persisting adultery with Guinevere, treacherous Mordred’s arrival, the last battle at Salisbury, Arthur and Lancelot’s deaths and the Kingdom of Logres’ destruction. Melancholic, simple and elegant, the text avoids the absurd fantasy that characterizes other period French romances. This enduring legend continues to move today’s readers. 235 pages.
