White's \u003cem\u003eThe Once and Future King\u003c\/em\u003e, and the Lerner and Loewe musical \u003cem\u003eCamelot\u003c\/em\u003e. It might also be argued that the late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century tradition of fantasy literature-from Tolkien's \u003cem\u003eLord of the Rings\u003c\/em\u003e to George Lucas's \u003cem\u003eStar Wars\u003c\/em\u003e and beyond-owes much to the Arthurian tradition, rooted in English most strongly in Malory's \u003cem\u003eMorte Darthur\u003c\/em\u003e. Yet there has been no edition that draws on the results of the past generation's scholarship while presenting Malory's work in a form that is at once true to the original and accessible to the modern reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis new edition, which expands on the revised and expanded selection of Malory material that will be included in the third edition of \u003cem\u003eThe Broadview Anthology of British Literature\u003c\/em\u003e, is all of those things. The extensive selections include most of the material concerning Launcelot, and all of the \u003cem\u003eMorte\u003c\/em\u003e's two final tales; the language has been partially modernized to make the text accessible to the modern reader, while retaining the flavor of the original; the text has been carefully prepared from the Winchester manuscript; and the annotations are extensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e Contributing Editor \u003cstrong\u003eMaureen Okun\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor in the Department of English and Chair of the Department of Liberal Studies at Vancouver Island University.
