Arthur: A Short Sketch of His Life and History in English Verse of the First Half of the Fifteenth Century is a book written by Frederick James Furnivall in 1864. The book is a retelling of the story of King Arthur, a legendary British leader who, according to medieval history and folklore, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the late 5th and early 6th centuries. The book is written entirely in English verse, which gives readers a sense of the language and style of the time in which the original story was created. The book provides a concise but detailed account of Arthur’s life, including his birth, his rise to power, his marriage to Guinevere, his battles against the Saxons, and his eventual downfall. Furnivall’s retelling of the story draws heavily from medieval sources, including the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth and Thomas Malory, but also includes some original material. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of King Arthur and the legends that have grown up around him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
