Rabbit Trail: Le Morte d'Arthur

Estimated Time: 5 minutes

In the "A Word of Explanation," the narrator reads from Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur. A section of it is reproduced in this book. Le Morte d'Arthur is the basis of most of our modern retellings of the story of King Arthur. Learn more about it in the article below. (You can skip the video as it has nothing to do with the story we are discussing).

Le Morte D'Arthur

King Arthur. You'd have to be living under a rock for quite a while to never hear of this guy. But in case that's you (hey, it might be quite nice to live under a rock, and Shmoop isn't one to judge), rest easy. You're about to learn more about old Artie than you ever dreamed.

Have you read Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur? Do you think you would like reading it?
