书籍简介

文本是不删节的，原始的拼写和广泛的、易于使用的边际注释和脚注。

没有任何其他版本能准确地代表真实的(可能是作者的)文本划分，这是由两个幸存的证人——卡克斯顿1485年的版本，尤其是著名的温彻斯特手稿——所证实的。温彻斯特手稿现在被普遍认为是更真实的两个早期文本。诺顿评论版是马洛里的第一版为了恢复手稿的重要元素：分段叙述部门边际注释层次所暗示的初始资本的规模和装饰性的错综复杂和字体改变了诺顿评述版也表示,在倒霉的字体,引人注目的专有名词的红字温彻斯特手稿,重建为读者的一个真正的中世纪的阅读体验,一个赋予视觉支持Malory非凡的代表,在性格和背景下,骑士的理想。没有其他学生版本的马洛里包含如此广泛的上下文和批评的支持。

The text is unabridged, with original spelling and extensive, easy-to-use marginal glosses and footnotes.

No other edition accurately represents the actual (and likely authorial) divisions of the text as attested to by its two surviving witnesses—Caxton’s 1485 print and, especially, the famous Winchester Manuscript. The Winchester Manuscript is now generally agreed to be the more authentic of the two earlier texts. The Norton Critical Edition is the first edition of Malory to recover important elements of this manuscript: paragraphing marginal annotations hierarchies of narrative division as signaled by size and decorative intricacy of initial capitals and font changes The Norton Critical Edition also represents, in black-letter font, the striking rubrication of proper names in the Winchester Manuscript, reconstructing for readers something of an authentic medieval reading experience, one which gives visual support to Malory’s extraordinary representation, in character and setting, of a chivalric ideal. No other student edition of Malory contains such extensive contextual and critical support.
