Autorenporträt
Sir James Knowles (1831–1908) was an English architect and editor renowned for his spirited revival of Arthurian legends. His work, 'The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights', stands as a testament to his scholarship and affection for medieval romance and chivalry, providing a comprehensive take on the tales that have become cornerstones of British cultural heritage. Knowles, inspired by the Victorian craze for Arthurian lore spurred by the likes of Tennyson and Malory, aimed to render the tales accessible and compelling to a wider audience. His literary style often mirrored the antiquated, grandiloquent prose of older Arthurian sources, reflecting his desire to preserve the original tone and atmosphere of those narratives. Uniting his architectural precision with narrative structure, Knowles' contribution to the revival of Arthurian legend helped solidify the myths' relevance in the cultural imagination and contributed to the wider education of classical mythos. His commitment to educating the masses was also evident in his role as the founding editor of 'The Nineteenth Century', a prestigious periodical of the time. Within his body of work, 'The Legends of King Arthur and His Knights' remains an essential reference for enthusiasts of medieval lore and for those who cherish the romantic vision of Camelot and its enduring legacy.
