About the author

Sir Thomas Malory (c. 1405–1471) was an English writer best known as the author or compiler of Le Morte Darthur. Public information about his life is limited; scholars generally identify him with Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire, who was involved in the Wars of the Roses and imprisoned several times, and who died on 14 March 1471. He drew together French romances to form this collection of Arthurian stories, which was printed by Caxton in 1485 and became a major source for later Arthurian literature. The library holds seven of his works, mostly English retellings of stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, as well as volumes of Le Morte Darthur.
