The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights, by Sir Thomas Malory and James Knowles. Part V.

The Publishers have asked me to authorise a new edition, in my own name, of this little book - now long out of print - which was written by me thirty-five years ago under the initials J.T.K. In acceding to their request I wish to say that the book as now published is merely a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to help to popularise the Arthur legends.It is little else than an abridgment of Sir Thomas Malory’s version of them as printed by Caxton - with a few additions from Geoffrey of Monmouth and other sources - and an endeavour to arrange the many tales into a more or less consecutive story. - James KnowlesPart IPreface The Prophecies of Merlin and The Birth of Arthur     The Sword and Stone, Coronation, Excalibur, War with the Eleven Kings  The Adventure of the Questing Beast - King Arthur drives the Saxons from the Realm - The Battles of Celidon Forest and Badon Hill    Part IIKing Arthur Conquers Ireland and Norway, Slays the Giant of St. Michael’s Mount, and Conquers Gaul, The Adventures of Sir Balin     Sir Balin Smites the Dolorous Stroke, and Fights with his Brother, Sir Balan   The Marriage of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere, and the Founding of the Round Table, The Adventure of the Hart and Hound    Part IIIKing Arthur and Sir Accolon of Gaul   King Arthur conquers Rome, and is crowned Emperor    The Adventures of Sir Lancelot du Lake  Part IVThe Adventures of Sir Beaumains or Sir Gareth.

The Confessions, by St. Augustine of Hippo. Part VIII.

The Confessions outlines St. Augustine's sinful youth and his later conversion to Christianity. It is widely seen as the first Western autobiography ever written, and was an influential model for Christian writers throughout the following 1,000 years, through the Middle Ages. It is not a complete autobiography, as it was written in his early 40s, and he lived long afterwards, producing another important work (City of God). It does, nonetheless, provide an unbroken record of his development of thought and is the most complete record of any single person from the 4th and 5th centuries. It is a significant theological work, featuring spiritual meditations and insights. From the opening:"GREAT art Thou, O Lord, and greatly to be praised; great is Thy power, and Thy wisdom infinite. And Thee would man praise; man, but a particle of Thy creation; man, that bears about him his mortality, the witness of his sin, the witness, that ]Thou, O God, resistest the proud: yet would man praise Thee; he, but a particle of Thy creation. Thou awakes us to delight in Thy praise; for Thou madest us for Thyself, and our heart is restless, unless it repose in Thee.” (From Wikipedia.)Translated by Edward Bouverie Pusey.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
