Reviews
P. J. C. Field, the world's preeminent Malory specialist, has wisely chosen to offer here Malory's seventh and eighth tales, recounting the decline and end of Camelot. The authoritative text is accompanied by indispensable notes and preceded by a remarkably thorough and learned--but never obscure--Introduction sufficient to prepare students and other readers to profit fully from the texts. This book is ideal for those coming to Malory for the first time and a distinct pleasure for those who already know him well. --Norris J. Lacy, E. E. Sparks Professor of French and Medieval Studies, Penn State University, Superb introduction, ample breadth and depth, excellent tone and level of engagement. Glosses are clear and useful. Students will read this. --Sarah Dangelantonio, Professor of English, Franklin Pierce University, P. J. C. Field has revised his long-out-of-print edition of the seventh and eighth tales of Morte Darthur , which are arguably the best and most influential parts of Malory's book. This edition offers students an excellent, affordable introduction to Malory's tragedy and to Arthurian romance in general and is the ideal text for the instructor who does not have time in class to teach the earlier parts of the book as well. The substantial seventy-seven–page Introduction presents essential and accurate information about the development of the Arthurian legend and the social, intellectual, and historical context in which Malory's book was written as well as discussions of Malory's French and English sources, the content and style of Morte Darthur , and the life of the author. The edition includes a detailed commentary, considerably expanded from the earlier version; glosses at the bottom of the page; and a glossary of words not immediately recognizable to those unaccustomed to reading Middle English. This text is an excellent work of scholarship by the leading authority on Sir Thomas Malory and will be welcome to those who teach general courses in medieval literature, in Middle English, and in comparative Arthurian romance. --Edward Donald Kennedy, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, "An extended introduction treats the Arthurian legend and Malory's sources, as well as the cultural contexts of the book, including the probable events of Malory's own life. The commentary is expanded from the first edition to offer detailed explanatory notes. Unfamiliar terms are glossed at the bottom of the page and a full glossary included. The scholarship is, as would be expected from Malory's great modern editor and biographer, comprehensive and impeccable." -- Medium Aevum, P. J. C. Field has revised his long-out-of-print edition of the seventh and eighth tales of Morte Darthur , which are arguably the best and most influential parts of Malory's book.

- r***r (2961)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseBook arrived today, 2 days before deadline given by the seller. Well-packaged & in good condition. Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
