Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Grail is one of the most fascinating themes in medieval literature. It was described as the vessel used by Jesus to celebrate the first Eucharist and it became the object of the greatest quest undertaken by King Arthur’s knight. This book examines the traditions attached to the Holy Grail from its first appearance in medieval romance through its transformation into an object of mystical significance in modern literature and film. It is a journey filled with knightly quests, mystics and holy relics, poets and novelists, outlandish speculation and serious thought.

Book excerpt: "This volume of the "Arthurian Characters and Themes" series is the only one dealing with theme, rather than character. Essays include both newly commissioned and reprinted articles that explore a variety of issues regarding the Arthurian search for the Holy Grail. Topics include analysis of the Grail as vessel, Perceval's sister in the Grail quest, the symbolism of the Grail in Wolfram, chivalric nationalism, and investigations of the use of the Grail in poetry and literature by authors such as Tennyson, T.S. Eliot, and Walker Percy"--Barnes & Noble.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medieval legend of the Grail, a tale about the search for supreme mystical experience, has never ceased to intrigue writers and scholars by its wildly variegated forms: the settings have ranged from Britain to the Punjab to the Temple of Zeus at Dodona; the Grail itself has been described as the chalice used by Christ at the Last Supper, a stone with miraculous youth-preserving virtues, a vessel containing a man's head swimming in blood; the Grail has been kept in a castle by a beautiful damsel, seen floating through the air in Arthur's palace, and used as a talisman in the East to distinguish the chaste from the unchaste. In his classic exploration of the obscurities and contradictions in the major versions of this legend, Roger Sherman Loomis shows how the Grail, once a Celtic vessel of plenty, evolved into the Christian Grail with miraculous powers. Loomis bases his argument on historical examples involving the major motifs and characters in the legends, beginning with the Arthurian legend recounted in the 1180 French poem by Chrtien de Troyes. The principal texts fall into two classes: those that relate the adventures of the knights in King Arthur's time and those that account for the Grail's removal from the Holy Land to Britain. Written with verve and wit, Loomis's book builds suspense as he proceeds from one puzzle to the next in revealing the meaning behind the Grail and its legends.

Download or read book This is Not a Grail Romance written by Natalia Petrovskaia and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2023-07-15 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Not a Grail Romance provides answers to some of the most important questions surrounding the medieval Welsh Arthurian tale Historia Peredur vab Efrawc, one of the few surviving medieval Welsh narrative compositions, and an important member of the ‘Grail’ family of medieval European narratives. The study demonstrates that Historia Peredur is an original Welsh composition, rather than (as previous theories have suggested) being an adaptation of the twelfth-century French grail romance. The new analysis of the structure of Historia Peredur presented here shows it to be as complex as it has always been thought – but also more formal, and the result of intentional and intricate design. The seeming inconsistencies or oddities in Historia Peredur can be understood by reading it in its medieval Welsh cultural context, allowing the modern reader a greater appreciation of both the narrative and the culture that produced it.

Download or read book How the Grail Became Holy written by Christopher William Davis and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-11-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries the Holy Grail has remained one of the most enduring legends in Western Culture. To merely mention the words "Holy Grail" is to conjure in one's mind images of a chalice once used by Christ and then sought after by heroes of every succeeding age. But in spite of this popular conception of what the Grail is, both the original stories and their modern interpretations are inconsistent in their descriptions of this relic. What was the Holy Grail? What was the origin of this legend? What inspired many writers of the 12th Century AD to weave a similar tale all roughly around the same time? Many scholars have provided many different answers to these questions, and this book puts those answers to the test. If you have ever wondered about the origin of the Holy Grail legend, whether you are a medieval literary scholar or you have only heard of the legend in passing, this book will allow you to search through ancient myths, medieval stories and scholarly debates so that you may discover the true origin of the Holy Grail.

Download or read book Holy Digital Grail written by Michelle R. Warren and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medieval books that survive today have been through a lot: singed by fire, mottled by mold, eaten by insects, annotated by readers, cut into fragments, or damaged through well-intentioned preservation efforts. In this book, Michelle Warren tells the story of one such manuscript—an Arthurian romance with textual origins in twelfth-century England now diffused across the twenty-first century internet. This trajectory has been propelled by a succession of technologies—from paper manufacture to printing to computers. Together, they have made literary history itself a cultural technology indebted to colonial capitalism. Bringing to bear media theory, medieval literary studies, and book history, Warren shows how digital infrastructures change texts and books, even very old ones. In the process, she uncovers a practice of "tech medievalism" that weaves through the history of computing since the mid-twentieth century; metaphors indebted to King Arthur and the Holy Grail are integral to some of the technologies that now sustain medieval books on the internet. This infrastructural approach to book history illuminates how the meaning of literature is made by many people besides canonical authors: translators, scribes, patrons, readers, collectors, librarians, cataloguers, editors, photographers, software programmers, and many more. Situated at the intersections of the digital humanities, library sciences, literary history, and book history, Holy Digital Grail offers new ways to conceptualize authorship, canon formation, and the definition of a "book."

Download or read book The perception of the Arthurian legend during Medieval Times and today. The Holy Grail written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,7, Ruhr-University of Bochum (Englisches Seminar), course: Medieval English, language: English, abstract: This term paper focuses on the perception of the Holy Grail and also on the represenation of the Arthurian legend in the Monty Python movie. The Arthurian legend is one of the widest known legends of the middle ages and the story about King Arthur can be dated back to the 9th century. Then his name was first mentioned in the "Historia Brittonum", which is a Latin compilation of historical texts and events. In the "Historia Brittonum" he was described as a Roman British military leader unlike to his later image as the king of the Britons who fought against the Anglo Saxons. The first mention of Arthur as the king of Britons was then in the 12th century by the British author Geoffrey of Monmouth in his "Historia Regum Britannie". This was also the time when the Arthurian literary circle became part of the Matter of Britain, a collective body of medieval literature and legendary material which is associated with Great Britain. Monmouth's "Historia Regnum Britannie" functioned as the base for Robert Wace's verse history "Roman de Brut". In this text the renowned round table of king Arthur and his knights was first mentioned and also the name of the magical sword Excalibur first arose. Moreover, in the 12th century the French poet Chrétien de Troyes wrote his works based on the Arthurian legend. He added the stories about Parceval, one of Arthur's knights, and the search for the holy grail. This research report argues that the story about Arthur and his knights never lost its significance and its fascination over hundreds of years, even up until today. Not only by actors during the middle ages, the story was used for their mystery plays, but also in the 20th century the Arthurian legend can be found in several texts and movies, one of which is Monthy Python and the Holy Grail.
