Steinbeck's first posthumously published work, "The Acts of King Arthur and His Noble Knights" is a reinterpretation of tales from Malory's "Morte d'Arthur". In this highly successful attempt to render Malory into Modern English, Steinbeck recreated the rhythm and tone of the original Middle English.
