Download or read book A Companion to the Lancelot Grail Cycle written by Carol Dover and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early thirteenth-century French prose Lancelot-Grail Cycle (or Vulgate Cycle) brings together the stories of Arthur with those of the Grail, a conjunction of materials that continues to fascinate the Western imagination today. Representing what is probably the earliest large-scale use of prose for fiction in the West, it also exemplifies the taste for big cyclic compositions that shaped much of European narrative fiction for three centuries. A Companion to the Lancelot-Grail Cycle is the first comprehensive volume devoted exclusively to the Lancelot-Grail Cycle and its medieval legacy. The twenty essays in this volume, all by internationally known scholars, locate the work in its social, historical, literary, and manuscript contexts. In addition to addressing critical issues in the five texts that make up the Cycle, the contributors convey to modern readers the appeal that the text must have had for its medieval audiences, and the richness of composition that made it compelling. This volume will become standard reading for scholars, students, and more general readers interested in the Lancelot-Grail Cycle, medieval romance, Malory studies, and the Arthurian legends.

Download or read book Lancelot Grail 10 Volume Set written by Norris J. Lacy and published by D. S. Brewer. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of the Holy Grail was written after the events described in Lancelot and The Quest for the Holy Grail were already an established part of the Arthurian story. It is, in Hollywood terms, a ̀prequel', and relates the story of the Grail from its first appearance at the Crucifixion up to the point where it is placed by Alain, the Fisher King, in the castle of Corbenic, whose inhabitants then await the arrival of the chosen Grail knight. Many points in the narrative are designed to foreshadow or to explain the later adventures connected with the Grail, but it also draws on the stories in the apocryphal gospels and other legends of the Crucifixion such as the story of Veronica, as well as unrelated material such as the story of Hippocrates. Less chivalric in tone than the subsequent books of the Vulgate Cycle, it also provides many details about the Grad itself which are not found elsewhere. --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Exploring French, Dutch, Norse, German and English texts, literary scholars and art historians discuss medieval quest themes, especially but not exclusively the quest for the Holy Grail. A number of the essays trace the relationship, often negative, between Arthurian chivalry and the Grail ethos. Whereas most of the contributors reflect on the popularity of the Grail quest, several examine the comparative rarity of the Grail in certain literatures and define the elaboration of quest motifs severed from the Grail material"--Publisher description.
