The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights, by Sir Thomas Malory and James Knowles. Part VI.

The Publishers have asked me to authorise a new edition, in my own name, of this little book - now long out of print - which was written by me thirty-five years ago under the initials J.T.K. In acceding to their request I wish to say that the book as now published is merely a word-for-word reprint of my early effort to help to popularise the Arthur legends. It is little else than an abridgment of Sir Thomas Malory’s version of them as printed by Caxton - with a few additions from Geoffrey of Mon...

The Confessions, by St. Augustine of Hippo. Part VIII.

The Confessions outlines St. Augustine's sinful youth and his later conversion to Christianity. It is widely seen as the first Western autobiography ever written, and was an influential model for Christian writers throughout the following 1,000 years, through the Middle Ages. It is not a complete autobiography, as it was written in his early 40s, and he lived long afterwards, producing another important work ( City of God ). It does, nonetheless, provide an unbroken record of his development of ...

William Blake, by G. K. Chesterton. Part III.

From the author’s introduction: "Blake’s life of Blake (..) would have been full of symbolic wild beasts and naked women, of monstrous clouds and colossal temples; and it would all have been highly incomprehensible, but none of it would have been irrelevant.

But, on consideration, I think it will be better to tell the tale of Blake’s life first and go back to his century afterwards. It is not, indeed, easy to resist t...
