The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights
Dorris Janowitz, 1976
Description
The tales in this collection, completed in 1959, are the result of Steinbeck’s intention to render Malory “into a modern English, while….trying to re-create a rhythm and tone which to the modern ear will have the same effect as the Middle English did on the fifteenth-century ear.” As Malory tightened and revised the twelfth-century French romances for his time, Steinbeck has reworked Malory for our own. The traditional Celtic design motifs which Cynthia Krupat adopted as decoration have an appropriately clean modern look
