The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights

By SIR JAMES KNOWLES, Thomas Malory, Lancelot Speed, et al.

Book Overview

The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights by Sir James Knowles is an abridged version of Sir Thomas Malory's *Le Morte d'Arthur*, first published in the 19th century. Knowles aimed to make the complex and rich Arthurian legends more accessible by condensing Malory's work and incorporating elements from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other sources. He arranged the tales into a cohesive narrative, providing readers with a more straightforward and consecutive account of the legendary exploits of King Arthur, his knights, Merlin, and the quest for the Holy Grail. The book is also significant for having sparked a lasting friendship between Knowles and Alfred, Lord Tennyson, to whom the book was dedicated. Over time, it has become a valuable resource for readers interested in the timeless myths of Arthurian legend.
