Considerable evidence points to the likeliest author as one Sir Thomas Malory or Maleore of Newbold Revell in Warwickshire, who was born in the first quarter of the fifteenth century. A member of the gentry, he became a soldier in the service of Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, with whom he fought in the siege of Calais in 1436. In records of the period he is accused of various crimesincluding armed robbery, attempted murder, and rapeand he is said to have executed several dramatic escapes from prison. Several things about Malory seem indisputable. As in Arthur's time when post-Roman Britain was in a state of fierce tribal war, he lived in an age of great unrest. Europe was still recovering from the Black Plague and a century of war. In England, two powerful families fought for the throne. Although he may have been a scoundrel, Malory was also, it seems clear, a man of ideals who believed in courage and loyalty, and who mourned the passing of chivalry. Incarcerated for long periods, he had many hours to fill his imagination with French romances and tales of chivalry, volumes of which were readily at hand. It is thought that Le Morte d'Arthur was written during his imprisonment.
William Morris Sir Thomas Malory (d. 1471) presents a realistic view of war and the humancondition in his only work, Le Morte d'Arthur. Most Arthurian http://website.lineone.net/~digitalcrafts/morris.htm
Extractions: Born in Walthamstow, Essex just at the beginning of the Victorian Age when the Industrial Revolution had taken its hold, William Morris enjoyed a somewhat privileged childhood. Like many young readers his age, he developed a strong preference for tales and romances of the Middle Ages. Chaucer's stories fascinated him as well as the narratives in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur . He also read the poetry of John Keats and Shelley, two prominent writers of the preceding Romantic Period, and, of course, Tennyson, the leading Victorian poet of the day who later earned the title of Poet Laureate in 1850. What do all these writers have in common to have had such an influence on Morris's development? The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer (d. 1400) presented a more realistic portrait of people in medieval society than the contemporary allegorical tales provided during his time. In allegory characters are named Patience, Conscience, Hope, Charity, and the like, who work their way from Evil toward Christian salvation. In Chaucer's Prologue to the Tales , characters named Harry Bailey, Roger, Huberd, Alice, John, and Madame Eglentyn, meet and tell stories on their annual pilgrimage to Canterbury. Chaucer decided not to use allegory in his tales (a stroke of sheer genius), leaving a memorable portrait of people as they really were. More important, though, Chaucer's

Extractions: Sir Thomas Malory Le Morte Darthur is undoubtedly the last definitive interpretation of the Arthurian myth before the dawn of the English Renaissance. Yet the identity of its author, Sir Thomas Malory, the knight prisoner, remains as elusive and as mysterious as the knights who inhabit his book. How can the extoller of knightly honor, courtly love and chivalric duty be himself accused of robbery, extortion, attempted murder and rape felonious acts which belie those noble sentiments expressed throughout the pages of the Morte? So the question arises who is the historical Sir Thomas Malory and how can we account for the massive discrepancy between the man and his work? Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire "was born into a gentry family that had lived for centuries in the English Midlands near the point where Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire meet. His father, John Malory, was an esquire with land in all three counties, but was primarily a Warwickshire man, being twice sheriff, five times M.P. and for many years a justice of the peace for that county. John married Philippa Chetwynd... and they had at least three daughters, and one son, Thomas, who was probably born within a year either way of 1416" (Field 115).

Extractions: A Shropshire Lad (1896) The month of May was come, when every lusty heart beginneth to blossom, and to bring forth fruit; for like as herbs and trees bring forth fruit and flourish in May, in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover, springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds. For it giveth unto all lovers courage, that lusty month of May.
