P. J. C. Field, the world's preeminent Malory specialist, has
wisely chosen to offer here Malory's seventh and eighth tales,
recounting the decline and end of Camelot. The authoritative text
is accompanied by indispensable notes and preceded by a remarkably
thorough and learned--but never obscure--Introduction sufficient to
prepare students and other readers to profit fully from the texts.
This book is ideal for those coming to Malory for the first time
and a distinct pleasure for those who already know him well.
