Chicago, Illinois: The University of Chicago Press, (1940).

First edition, first printing.

Warmly inscribed, dated September 1940 and SIGNED by the author to the front end-paper.

Enhanced with six photograph illustrations on striking black-and-white plates.

A wonderful collection of lectures the author presented at the University of Chicago that reflect numerous cultural aspects and influences of Arthurian life.

Nitze's object was "to illustrate in a kaleidoscopic fashion the present by means of the past: to suggest how a great poetic tradition has been built up and survives as an essential part of our Western culture".

Spine slightly age-toned, else very good in blue linen with gilt embossed titles and decorative borders to the front cover and to the spine; in a good dust jacket that is missing the upper two-thirds of the spine panel, shows short edge tears, and slight rub-wear to the flap folds; original $1.00 price still intact to the front inner flap.

Octavo; 101 pages; foreword; index.
