 Review: THE ONCE AND FUTURE KING by T. H. White   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
White, for example, was the author who came up with the idea of Merlyn living backwards.
And White also goes directly from Arthur pulling the sword from the stone at the end of Book 1 to King Arthur waving Excalibur around at the beginning of Book 2, which has probably served to reinforce most people's belief that the two were actually the same.
White also skips over a lot of the "canonical" Arthurian story, often saying (in effect), "Well, if you want to know about thus- and-so, read Malory, because he describes it better than I would." So in some sense he assumes a previous knowledge of the story.

White stays fairly faithful to the time he has chosen, mentioning Robin Hood (Robin Wood), and occasionally making references to Richard the Lionheart and other Norman rulers, although he talks about them as if they were imaginary and only Arthur was real.
The triumph of this novel is its characterization, White succeeds in presenting Arthur and Lancelot vividly and realistically.

 The Sword in the Stone, by T. H. White
White’s depiction of this conflict is very thorough, making it very clear that the Wart has a strong desire to learn, especially through extraordinary means.
T.H. White must have been aware that he was setting it in a sentimentalised picture of Old England as it never quite was, legends of Arthur pre-date 1066, and there are references to Eton, the Eton Boating Song, and the British national anthem.
White said, "I am looking through 1939 at 1489, itself, looking backward." So the time period is pretty clear.

 Queens' College Record 2002 - T. H. White
I suppose White's reputation has been a bit eclipsed in recent years - certainly the book is a long way from the best-seller list at the moment - but many readers will remember it with pleasure, may even perhaps have introduced their children to it (mine didn't like it though, despite my best attempts).
White set out to make a living as a writer, but money was hard to come by and he soon felt the need of some financial support, and (like Evelyn Waugh, W. Auden and numerous others of his contemporaries) took a job as a prep school master.
By any standard, T. White would be a distinguished member of the College, but there are additional reasons for our taking a particular interest in him and his work.

 T.H. White - Reviews on RateItAll   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Working off the writings of Sir Thomas Mallory (considered by most to be the "definative" scource on Arthurian legend), White fleshes out his characters in such a manner that, despite the fact this is a work of fantasy, the characters seem to belong in the real world.
White did not include it as the ending for his Camelot masterpiece.
However, T.H. White can hardly be blamed for what people will dig up and so he still deserves a perfect rating.

 King Arthur: Literature of the Legends--T.H. White and The Once and Future King
T.H. White's The Once and Future King is easily the most accessible Arthurian work of the 20th century.
White, a pacifist, fills his hero, Arthur, with a war-weariness and a determination to do what is right: "Might for Right." From the very beginning, Arthur has to fight to keep what he has earned.
He fends off challenges from Lot and from outsiders; he tries to keep his Round Table intact in the face of a serious challenge from Mordred and the sons of Orkney; he tries to keep his kingdom intact by fighting for his very life against Mordred and his growing number of allies.
