Review: Review for the Penguin edition (ed.) Lawlor & Cowen, vols 1 & 2 desertcart have rather irritatingly conflated the reviews for the various editions of Malory's Morte D'Arthur regardless of whether they are abridged or in full. This review is for the two-volume Penguin edition which is the complete text. We don't really know who 'Malory' was, but this is a wonderful English compilation of the myths and legends surrounding Arthur, Camelot and the knights of the Round Table, drawn primarily from the French (Breton and Celtic). Volume 1 feels slightly fragmented as it jumps around between the knights and inserts the Lady of the Lake and her maidens such as Nimue with no explanation. So you certainly shouldn't approach this expecting something like a novel with backstory and extensive exposition: here we're thrust into a chivalric world replete with magic and just need to accept the values of that world. Volume 2 is perhaps more integrated as it tightens the focus especially on knights such as Lancelot, Galahad and Gawain. It is here that we get the quest for the Holy Grail (Sangreal) and a tight focus on Galahad. We also have the sexual triangle between Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere which becomes marvellously fraught with emotion and tension. The break-up of the Round Table and the final death of Arthur is movingly conveyed with a sense of the elegiac passing of a lost world. So the first volume is a scene-setter, in some ways, for what has come to epitomise the central story of Arthur, with a much tighter and more integrated volume two. I love Malory's re-telling, nevertheless, and am very happy to lose myself in this dark and, ultimately, tragic chivalric romance.
