SIR THOMAS MALORY BIOGRAPHY

SIR THOMAS MALORY BIOGRAPHY from the Biographical Dictionary of English Literature by John Cousin.

MALORY, SIR THOMAS ( fl. 1470). —Translator of Morte d'Arthur . Very little is known of him. An endeavour has been made to identify him with a Sir Thomas Malory of Warwickshire, who fought successively on both sides in the Wars of the Roses, sat in Parliament 1444-45, and d. 1471. In his book he strove to make a continuous story of the Arthurian legends, and showed judgment alike in what he included and omitted.
