Excerpt from Selections From Sir Thomas Malory's Morte Darthur: Edited With Notes, and Glossary The aim in these selections from Le Morte Darthur has been to present connected wholes rather than fragmentary and mutilated passages. Hence Books I and XVIII are printed with only minor omissions, and Books II, XIII, XVII, XXI, without abridgment. These six books contain some of the choicest portions of the Morte Darthur, and are really representative of its character. Of course there are other extended passages and even whole books that might well have been included. The chief regret of any lover of the Morte Darthur is at being obliged to make selections at all. Of the omitted portions perhaps Books VII and XII appeal most strongly to the general reader. d104. - The text here offered follows letter for letter Caxton's edition of 1485 (as reprinted by Sommer in 1889), but with certain modifications made necessary by the plan of the Athenaeum Press Series.
