Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, published by Barnes & Noble and illustrated by Arthur Rackham, is a magnificent edition of the timeless Arthurian legends. Completed in 1469 while Malory was imprisoned, this seminal work gathers the tales of King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and the quest for the Holy Grail into a sweeping medieval epic that has shaped Western storytelling for centuries.
This edition is graced by Arthur Rackham’s exquisite Art Nouveau illustrations, which bring to life the romance, heroism, and tragedy of Camelot with delicate ink lines and dreamlike watercolors. Rackham’s renditions of pivotal moments—such as Arthur receiving Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake or the tragic affair of Lancelot and Guinevere—infuse the text with visual poetry.
Bound in Barnes & Noble’s signature faux-leather or bonded leather cover, often adorned with gilt detailing and a ribbon marker, this volume is designed to be both a reader’s companion and a collector’s treasure. The edition may also include supplementary essays on Malory’s sources, the historical context of the Arthurian myths, and Rackham’s artistic legacy.
A marriage of literary and artistic mastery, this Le Morte d’Arthur is a cornerstone for lovers of chivalric romance and golden-age illustration.
