Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Arthurian legend, specifically examining the story of King Arthur's journey to the Chapel of Saint Augustine. The author meticulously analyzes the text of an important manuscript, Hatton 82, which contains a version of the legend known as *Perlesvaus*. The book explores the intricate connections between the *Perlesvaus* and other Arthurian texts, including *Li Conte del Graal* and *Merlin*. It also examines the influence of the legend of Saint Augustine on the *Perlesvaus* and its relation to the historical figure of Fulk Fitz-Warin, as evidenced by a 14th-century chronicle. Through an analysis of language and literary themes, the book reveals the deep religious significance of the *Perlesvaus* and its connection to the British Church. The author's exploration of the story's symbolism and its portrayal of Arthur's spiritual transformation illuminates the complex relationship between chivalry, religion, and national identity in medieval literature. The book's detailed analysis of the *Perlesvaus* provides a unique perspective on the evolution of Arthurian legend and its enduring appeal.
