Persons
Not much is known about Sir Thomas Malory, who was born in England in the early fifteenth century. He is believed to have been a knight and is known as the compiler and/or writer of Le Morte d'Arthur, which he completed around 1470.
Aubrey Beardsley (1872-98) was a book illustrator, caricaturist, poster-designer and novelist. He was closely associated with The Yellow Book, and illustrated The Rape of the Lock, The Lysistrata of Aristophanes and Oscar Wilde's Salome. Charles Robinson (1870- 37) was one of the most popular and prolific black-and-white artists of the Edwardian era. Brother of the artists Thomas and William Heath Robinson, he came to prominence when asked to illustrate Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses.
Andrea Denny-Brown earned her Ph.D. at Columbia University with a concentration in Medieval Literature. She is an associate professor of English at the University of California Riverside.
