Excerpt from Studies on the Legend of the Holy Grail
The present work is, as its title states, a collection of Studies. It does not profess to give an exhaustive or orderly account of the Grail romance cycle; it deals with particular aspects of the legend, and makes no pretence of exhausting even these.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the legend of the Holy Grail from the perspective of its origins in Celtic tradition. The author analyzes various medieval French and German romances and Welsh prose tales that tell the story of Perceval, the knight who seeks the Grail. Through a close examination of these texts, the book argues that the Grail legend has its roots in pre-Christian Celtic mythology, particularly in the stories of the Fisher King and the cauldron of plenty. The author also discusses the Christianization of the legend and its subsequent development in medieval literature. This book will appeal to scholars and general readers interested in the origins and evolution of the Grail legend, as well as those seeking a deeper understanding of the connections between Celtic and medieval literature.
