Extractions: Born in Walthamstow, Essex just at the beginning of the Victorian Age when the Industrial Revolution had taken its hold, William Morris enjoyed a somewhat privileged childhood. Like many young readers his age, he developed a strong preference for tales and romances of the Middle Ages. Chaucer's stories fascinated him as well as the narratives in Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur . He also read the poetry of John Keats and Shelley, two prominent writers of the preceding Romantic Period, and, of course, Tennyson, the leading Victorian poet of the day who later earned the title of Poet Laureate in 1850. What do all these writers have in common to have had such an influence on Morris's development? The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer (d. 1400) presented a more realistic portrait of people in medieval society than the contemporary allegorical tales provided during his time. In allegory characters are named Patience, Conscience, Hope, Charity, and the like, who work their way from Evil toward Christian salvation. In Chaucer's Prologue to the Tales , characters named Harry Bailey, Roger, Huberd, Alice, John, and Madame Eglentyn, meet and tell stories on their annual pilgrimage to Canterbury. Chaucer decided not to use allegory in his tales (a stroke of sheer genius), leaving a memorable portrait of people as they really were. More important, though, Chaucer's

Extractions: Scholars have determined that there were at least six Thomas Malorys alive in the 1400s when Le Morte d'Arthur was written. Considerable evidence points to the likeliest author as one Sir Thomas Malory or Maleore of Newbold Revell in Warwickshire, who was born in the first quarter of the fifteenth century. A member of the gentry, he became a soldier in the service of Richard Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick, with whom he fought in the siege of Calais in 1436. In records of the period he is accused of various crimesincluding armed robbery, attempted murder, and rapeand he is said to have executed several dramatic escapes from prison. Several things about Malory seem indisputable. As in Arthur's time when post-Roman Britain was in a state of fierce tribal war, he lived in an age of great unrest. Europe was still recovering from the Black Plague and a century of war. In England, two powerful families fought for the throne. Although he may have been a scoundrel, Malory was also, it seems clear, a man of ideals who believed in courage and loyalty, and who mourned the passing of chivalry. Incarcerated for long periods, he had many hours to fill his imagination with French romances and tales of chivalry, volumes of which were readily at hand. It is thought that Le Morte d'Arthur was written during his imprisonment. Malory referred to himself as a 'knight-prisoner.' With a military man's passion for the details of conquest, a prisoner's sense of injustice, and a penitent's desire for redemption, he dedicated himself wholeheartedly to this retelling of the Arthurian legends. Sir Thomas Malory died, it is presumed, around 1471.

Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire was born into a family that had lived for centuries in the English Midlands near the point where Warwickshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire meet. His father, John Malory, was an esquire with land in all three counties, but mainly lived in Warwickshire. John married Philippa Chetwynd and they had at least three daughters, and one son, Thomas, who was probably born about 1416. Almost nothing is known about Sir Thomas Malorys early years. When he was 23, records reveal that he was a respectable country landowner with a growing interest in politics. He dealt in land, witnessed deeds for his neighbors, acted as a parliamentary elector, and by 1441 had become a knight. Sir Thomas Malory married Elizabeth Walsh of Wanlip in Leicestershire. They had one son Robert. Sir Thomas Malory died in 1471.

Extractions: The earliest known example of a stained glass window with a literary theme in Europe was produced for the Tucher family of Nuremberg in the sixteenth century, which illustrated Greek and Roman myths. In the nineteenth century literary imagery and, in particular, medievalist imagery inspired by Arthurian legend inspired the work of Englishman William Morris and his circle of contemporaries. Pre-Raphaelite paintings and Arts and Crafts tapestries drew inspiration from the texts of Arthurian legend, as did the subject matter of stained glass the same artists produced. Morris and Company (including painters Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rosetti who designed the windows) produced twelve 1862 windows on the story of Tristram and Isoude for the home of a Yorkshire merchant. Burne-Jones also designed an 1886 series based on Galahad's quest for the holy grail for his own home, then gave them to a neighbor, Lady Leighton Warren at Rottingdean. The appearance of Arthurian windows in churches appears in part to have begun after World War I as a means of memorializing dead soldiers. The imagery of valor in battle, spiritual fulfillment and heavenly reward as presented in Malory's particular text of Arthurian legend and as interpreted by the the stained glass artist can have as much of a spiritual meaning as it would have secular.
