King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table by Sidney Lanier
An epic retelling of the Arthurian legends that traces the rise of a once-obscure boy to a king chosen by destiny, the founding of a noble court bound by chivalry and the Round Table, and the heroic deeds of knights such as Lancelot, Gawain, and Percival. The narrative weaves magic and adventure—Merlin’s counsel, the sword in the stone and Excalibur, tournaments and quests—culminating in the sacred but elusive Quest for the Holy Grail. Amid feats of loyalty and valor, fragile human passions and betrayals—most notably the queen’s love for Lancelot and the treachery of Mordred—undermine the realm and bring about a tragic downfall. Throughout, the story celebrates ideals of honor, devotion, and romance while lamenting their impermanence.
