The Legend of King Arthur




The seniors are studying medieval British literature and focusing right now on Le Morte d'Arthur, the classic tale compiled from French and English legend by Sir Thomas Mallory. It was originally published in 1485 by the British printer William Caxton. By reading this story we can gain a valuable glimpse into medieval life. The legend of King Arthur continues to live on in stories and cinema. What images come to your mind when you hear that name?
