T.H. White
Terence Hanbury White (1906–1964) was an English author known primarily for his fantastical and eccentric writing. White was a complex and deeply private man who often struggled with solitude, depression, and his own identity, themes that are subtly woven into the fabric of his Arthurian retelling.
White’s unique approach to the Arthurian legend—infusing medieval romance with modernist psychological insight, dark humor, and anachronistic detail—made The Once and Future King an immediate classic. His book was notably the basis for the Broadway musical Camelot (1960), which further cemented his version of the legend in popular culture. White is recognized as a master storyteller whose interpretation of King Arthur remains one of the most beloved and influential of the 20th century.
