"Le Morte d'Arthur: Volume 2" by Sir Thomas Malory is a Middle English prose compilation completed around 1470. This legendary work weaves together tales of King Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, and the Knights of the Round Table. Malory compiled and reworked material from French and English sources to create a complete story of Arthur's life, incorporating the quest for the Holy Grail and the legend of Tristan and Iseult. Apparently written while imprisoned, it remains one of the most influential works of Arthurian literature.
