History

Historical Context

Sir Thomas Malory's "Le Morte d'Arthur," completed around 1470 and published by William Caxton in 1485, redefined the Arthurian legend, merging French romances with English prose. This work, often considered the first English novel, reflects the political turmoil of the Wars of the Roses, portraying the rise and fall of Camelot, and continues to influence modern adaptations in literature and gaming.
