Sir Thomas MaloryWhile there was more than one Thomas Malory, most evidence suggests that the writer was the hot-tempered member of Parliament in 1445 who spent a great deal of his later life imprisoned.
Malory lived in tumultuous times and found himself on the wrong side of the Wars of the Roses. This narrative, likely written while Malory was in jail, tells of the heroic adventures of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. He combined English, French, and Latin tales to create the first prose masterpiece in English. |
