Uther and Igraine by Warwick Deeping Pdf

Uther and Igraine is a romantic tale of the forbidden love between Uther Pendragon, legendary king of Britain, and Lady Igraine, wife of his enemy Gorlois, Duke of Cornwall. After many misfortunes Lady Igraine eventually gets tricked into marrying Gorlois, but their marriage is unhappy. The death of Aurelius Ambrosius made his brother Uther the new king and, under the threat of new battles, Uther called for gathering of knights, many of which answered the call. Duke Gorlois had come from Cornwall with many knights, bringing his wife along. Upon meeting Igraine, Uther desperately falls in love with her, but hesitates to act on it, unwilling to cause harm to her reputation and lose an ally. Lady Igraine, who is miserable in her marriage, returns the affection, but the dilemma they are facing is not only moral, and they'll have to overcome many tribulations.

Uther & Igraine by Warwick Deeping Pdf

Beneath the dark cornices of a thicket of wind-stunted pines stood a small company of women looking out into the hastening night. The half light of evening lay over the scene, rolling wood and valley into a misty mass, while the horizon stood curbed by a belt of imminent clouds. In the western vault, a vast rent in the wall of grey gave out a blaze of transient gold that slanted like a spear-shaft to a sullen sea. A wind cried restlessly amid the trees, gusty at intervals, but tuning its mood to a desolate and constant moan. There was an expression of despair on the face of the west. The woods were full of a vague woe, and of troubled breathing. The trees seemed to sway to one another, to fling strange words with a tossing of hair, and outstretched hands. The furze in the valley-swept and harrowed-undulated like a green lagoon.

Uther and Igraine (Classic Reprint) by Warwick Deeping Pdf

Excerpt from Uther and Igraine The words were scourges in their purpose. Several of the nuns looked up from the flames in the valley. Shame on you, worldling said one of thin and thankless Visage down on your knees, brat, and pray for the dead.' The novice gave a curt, low laugh. The reproofs of a year rankled in her like bitter herbs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley Pdf

The magical saga of the women behind King Arthur's throne. “A monumental reimagining of the Arthurian legends . . . reading it is a deeply moving and at times uncanny experience. . . . An impressive achievement.”—The New York Times Book Review In Marion Zimmer Bradley's masterpiece, we see the tumult and adventures of Camelot's court through the eyes of the women who bolstered the king's rise and schemed for his fall. From their childhoods through the ultimate fulfillment of their destinies, we follow these women and the diverse cast of characters that surrounds them as the great Arthurian epic unfolds stunningly before us. As Morgaine and Gwenhwyfar struggle for control over the fate of Arthur's kingdom, as the Knights of the Round Table take on their infamous quest, as Merlin and Viviane wield their magics for the future of Old Britain, the Isle of Avalon slips further into the impenetrable mists of memory, until the fissure between old and new worlds' and old and new religions' claims its most famous victim.

Stories of King Arthur and His Knights by U. Waldo Cutler Pdf

The material for the Arthur stories came from many countries and from many different periods of history. Much of it is wholly fanciful, but the writers connected all the incidents directly or indirectly with the old Briton king of the fifth century, who was the model of knighthood, "without fear and without reproach." Perhaps there was a real King Arthur, who led the Britons against the Saxon invaders of their land, who was killed by his traitor nephew, and who was buried at Glastonbury,-the valley of Avilion of the legends; perhaps there was a slight historical nucleus around which all the romantic material was crystallising through the centuries, but the Arthur of romance came largely from the imagination of the early writers. And yet, though our "own ideal knight" may never have trod the soil of Britain or Roman or Saxon England, his chivalrous character and the knightly deeds of his followers are real to us, if we read them rightly, for "the poet's ideal was the truest truth."

Le Morte D'Arthur by Thomas Malory Pdf

This brisk retelling of Le Morte D'Arthur highlights the narrative drive, humor, and poignancy of Sir Thomas Malory’s original while updating his fifteenth-century English and selectively pruning over-elaborate passages that can try the patience of modern readers. The result is an adaptation that readers can enjoy as a fresh approach to Malory's sprawling masterpiece. The book's most famous episodes--the sword in the stone, the cataclysmic final battle--are all here, while lesser-known key episodes stand forth with new brightness and clarity. The text is accompanied by an up-to-date bibliography, including websites and video resources, and a descriptive index keyed--like the retelling itself--to the book and chapter divisions of William Caxton's first printed edition of 1485.

Le Morte D'Arthur by Thomas Malory Pdf

The most famous English-language compilation of Arthurian legends ever issued. Originally titled "The hoole booke of kyng Arthur and of his noble knyghtes of the rounde table," this work was first published in 1485, it was one of the last major books to be published in Britain before the introduction of the printing press by William Caxton. It was also one of the first books to be published by Caxton, who also acted as editor for the work. This is not a "mass market" edition but a high quality publication printed on white paper. The storyline, drawn partly from older Latin, Welsh, French, German, Norse and even Dutch epics, takes place in Britain and France during the fall of the Western Roman Empire. King Arthur, a legendary Celtic warrior-king, serves as a symbol for the final defeat of Rome, and also the emergence of the Medieval Courtly culture. Other events in the narrative take place in Rome and the Tigris-Euphrates river basin. The author divided the text into eight books, each dealing with a particular theme. Caxton broke these up further into twenty-one books. This Volume II of Le Morte d'Arthur contains Caxton's Books X-XXI.
