King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

Pyle, H., & Alyward, W. J. 1. (1933). The story of King Arthur and his knights. New York: C.
Scribner's Sons.

King Arthur is one of the most famous legends in history. This imaginative retelling of the
classic Arthurian legends follows Arthur's formation of the Knights of the Round Table, his
acquisition of the enchanted sword Excalibur, and his courtship of Lady Guinevere. The legends
of Sir Pelleas, the story of Sir Gawaine's pursuit of the White Hart, and tales of Merlin the
magician, Morgana Le Fay, the Lady of the Lake, and many others are also included.
The Round Table represented the equality that existed at Arthur's court. It was allegedly
patterned after a table made to commemorate Jesus Christ's Last Supper.

The Canterbury Tales

Chaucer, G. (2003). The Cabterbury tales (N. Coghill, Trans.). Penguin Classics.

Chaucer created one of the great touchstones of English literature in The Canterbury Tales. The
occasion for a series of tales ranging from the Knight's account of courtly love and the ebullient
Wife of Bath's Arthurian legend to the ribald anecdotes of the Miller and the Cook is a story
telling competition among a group of pilgrims from all walks of life.
This masterful and vivid modern English verse translation captures all of Chaucer's fourteenth-
century Middle English vigour and poetry.
