Description:

Drawing on a wide variety of sources, including the work of Chretien de Troyes, Gottfried von Strassburg, Beroul and Sir Thomas Malory, this illustrated retelling of the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table provides modern English translations of the great medieval authors, woven into a continuous narrative. There are information boxes on aspects of the Arthurian world - the characters and sites, and the medieval authors and their themes. The illustrations include illuminated manuscripts, woodcuts, paintings, sculptures and later representations of Arthurian themes in the work of the pre-Raphaelites. Andrea Hopkins is the author of "Knights", an illustrated history of medieval chivalric culture.
