Excerpt from A Masque and Other Poems
The poem entitled How Launcelot came to the Nunnery in Search of the Queen is an attempt to render in blank verse and as literally as possible the most dramatic episode in the Arthur of Sir Thomas Malory. The various tales here told in verse have no legendary foundation except as regards two lesser lyrics, The Christ of the Snows and Adam.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poems written by Sir Thomas Malory during the 15th century. They present a series of short but powerful and suspenseful tales that have inspired many modern iterations of the Arthurian legend, such as "The Sword in the Stone" and "The Once and Future King." Malory's 15th century telling of these tales and his characterizations have had a great impact on the way we think of these characters today, and is considered one of the foundational texts of English literature. Malory's choice to tell these tales in verse also presents a unique perspective on the subject of these stories.
