Tolkien's *the legend of king arthur of britain* may well be regarded as his finest and most skillful achievement in the use of the old english alliterative meter, in which he brought to his transformative perceptions of the old narratives a pervasive sense of the grave and fateful nature of all that is told: of arthur's expedition overseas into distant heathen lands, of guinevere's flight from camelot, of the great sea-battle on arthur's return to britain, in the portrait of the traitor mordred, in the tormented doubts of lancelot in his french castle.

unhappily, the fall of arthur was one of several long narrative poems that he abandoned in that period.

In this case, he evidently began it in the early 1930s, and it was sufficiently advanced for him to send it to a very perceptive friend who read it with great enthusiasm at the end of 1934 and urgently urged him, "you simply must finish it!" ' But in vain: he abandoned it, at some date unknown, though there is some evidence that it may have been in 1937, the year of the publication of the hobbit and the first stirrings of the lord of the rings. Yıllar sonra, 1955'teki bir mektubunda, "the fall of arthur" üzerine uzun bir şiir bitirmeyi umduğunu söyledi

ancak o gün gelmedi.

Associated with the text of the poem, however, are many manuscript pages: a great quantity of drafting and experimentation in verse, in which the strange evolution of the poem's structure is revealed, together with narrative synopses and very significant if tantalizing notes. In these latter, one can clearly discern mysterious associations of the arthurian conclusion with the silmarillion, and the bitter ending of the love of lancelot and guinevere, which was never written.
