介绍（中）	托马斯·马洛里爵士的"亚瑟之死"的这一版本由 J. M. Dent 于 1892 年出版。与当时更精英的精品出版社（如凯尔姆斯科特和鸽子）不同，登特生产的书籍价格可供大量读者阅读。通过使用最新的机械复制方法，标题被批量生产，并将成本保持在最低水平。装订同样是一种低成本的物品，通常是机械印刷的厚纸，如图书馆的完整十二期示例。这个版本由年轻的奥布里·比尔兹利（Aubrey Beardsley）绘制插图。他当时的插图风格，优雅的线条以高对比度的黑白执行，完全符合登特的制作价值。通过这部作品，比尔兹利找到了广泛的大众观众——事实上，正是这个项目让他放弃了办公室工作人员的日常工作，转而从事艺术事业。图解：第 1 部分，印刷纸包装纸
介绍（英）	This edition of Sir Thomas Malory's "Morte d'Arthur" was published in 1892 by J. M. Dent. Unlike the more elitist fine presses of the time, such as Kelmscott and Doves, Dent produced books priced to be accessible to a large audience. Titles were mass-produced and costs were kept to a minimum by utilizing the latest methods of mechanical reproduction. Bindings were likewise a low-cost item, often of heavy paper stock mechanically printed, as in the Library's complete, twelve-installment example. This edition was illustrated by the young Aubrey Beardsley. His style of illustration at the time, with its elegant lines executed in high-contrast black and white, perfectly fit Dent's production values. With this work Beardsley found a broad popular audience—it was, in fact, this project that allowed him to give up his day job as an officeworker and pursue an artistic career.
