Description
T. H. White (1906-1964)
English novelist, essayist, and social historian. White is best known for his witty retelling of the Arthurian legend in the cycle The Once and Future King (1939-58), which includes The Sword in the Stone, The Queen of Air and Darkness, The Ill-Made Knight, The Candle in the Wind, and The Book of Merlyn. This epic work was the basis for the popular 1960 musical Camelot (revived in 1980). White's other works inspired by medieval life include an account of hawk training and a bestiary. Related topics: King Arthur, Knights of the Round table, the Quest for the Holy Grail, Le Morte D'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, Chivalry, Medieval history and Medievalism.
