Last call for the Knights of the Round Table! Prison literature at it's finest, though the prose reads like the old english equivalent of a wikipedia article or booklet of cliffnotes. Must love jousting.
Alliterative Arthur on a rampage against Rome. Arthur hacks down an ogre who wears a coat of dead king's beards and eats children from a stew pot. Arthur hacks down the Roman army man by man. Arthur takes on the world and is hacked down by his own nephew, Mordred, the ender of Camelot.

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Thomas Malory's "Le Morte Darthur", the epic tale of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table. Sir Thomas Malory was a knight from Warwickshire, a respectable country gentleman and MP in the 1440s who later turned to a life of crime and spent various spells in prison. It was during Malory's final incarceration that he wrote "Le Morte Darthur", an epic work which was based primarily on French, but also some English, sources. Malory died shortly after his release in 1470 and it was to be another fifteen years before "Le Morte Darthur" was published by William Caxton, to immediate popular acclaim. Although the book fell from favour in the seventeenth century, it was revived again in Victorian times and became an inspiration for the Pre-Raphaelite movement who were entranced by the chivalric and romantic world that Malory portrayed. The Arthurian legend is one of the most enduring and popular in western literature and its characters - Sir Lancelot, Guinevere, Merlin and King Arthur himself, are as well-known today as they were then; and the book's themes - chivalry, betrayal, love and honour - remain as compelling.
