The Alliterative Morte Arthure, a four-thousand-line poem written sometime around 1400, holds a significant place in the medieval Arthurian revival. This revival gave birth to remarkable works such as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Sir Thomas Malory's prose masterpiece, Morte D Arthur. The Death of King Arthur delves into the intricate dynamics of warfare and politics, addressing the ever-relevant issues of Britain's relationship with continental Europe and its military ambitions abroad. Simon Armitage, a renowned master of alliterative music, has already demonstrated his expertise with his earlier rendition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (2006). His latest translation breathes new life into a neglected masterpiece, vividly capturing the medieval blend of ruthlessness and restraint that defines this narrative. Through his meticulous translation, Armitage restores the essence of this timeless tale, allowing readers to experience the rich tapestry of medieval storytelling once again.
