This new edition, which expands on the revised and expanded selection of Malory material that will be included in the third edition of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, is all of those things. The extensive selections include most of the material concerning Launcelot and all of the Morte's two final tales; the language has been partially modernised to make the text accessible to the modern reader, while retaining the flavour of the original; the text has been carefully prepared from the Winchester manuscript; and the annotations are extensive.
