The author's sources are principally French romances; his own contributions are substantial, however, and the result is a vigorous and resonant prose. "Le Morte d'Arthur," finished between March 1469 and March 1470, was first printed in 1485 by William Caxton, the earliest English printer. Malory is presumed to have been a knight from an old Warwickshire family, who inherited his father's estates about 1433 and spent 20 years of his later life in jail accused of various crimes. The discovery of a manuscript version of "Le Morte d'Arthur" in 1934 in the library of Winchester College, supported the identification of Malory the author with Malory the traitor, burglar, and rapist. It showed that many of the inconsistencies in the printed text were traceable to the printing house rather than to the author. The most reliable modern version, therefore, is one like Eugene Vinaver's that is based on the Winchester manuscript. (Bowker Author Biography) — biography from Le Morte d'Arthur … (more) |

Thomas Malory has 1 past event. (show)  Fearless Females Talk | The Mother of Ruin 7PM MONDAY, MAY 6 The Mother of Ruin: Queen Morgause in the Arthurian Legends Dr. Diane Facinelli, Honors Faculty Fellow and Lecturer at Barrett Honors College at ASU, hosts the next talk in the "Fearless Females: The Audacious and Feisty Women of the Middle Ages" series from the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. Although a minor character in the Arthurian legend, Morgause's impact on Arthur and the court of Camelot is pivotal. The half-sister of Arthur, sister of Morgan le Fay, wife of King Lot of Orkney and mother of Gawain and Mordred, she has fulfilled and even embraced the role of "Mother of Ruin." Today, she enjoys expanded status as a powerful force for destruction and evil in numerous modern retellings of her brief role in Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur.
