Abstract

What is the secret of the Grail?' So intoned a heavenly voice to Sir Percival in John Boorman's stylish and influential film 'Excalibur' (1981). The sacred allure of the Holy Grail has fascinated writers and ensnared knights for over a thousand years. From Malory to Monty Python, the eternal chalice - said to be the very cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper - has the richest associations of any icon in British myth. Many different meanings have been devised for the Grail, which has been linked to the Celts and King Arthur, the eucharistic rites of Eastern Christianity, ancient myste

Abstract

Galaad, fils de Lancelot, est le seul chevalier de la Table ronde qui pourra s'approcher du Graal et le conquérir pour toujours. Sur le chemin de cette révélation, une énigme : un arbre qui, d'abord blanc, devient vert, puis rouge sang. Quel est cet arbre ? Celui du Paradis ? Ou le pommier sacré des anciens Celtes ? Certes, la quête mystique du chaste Galaad associe l'arbre et le Saint Vase. Mais, autre énigme, pourquoi la pureté devient-elle soudain la suprême valeur chevaleresque, et pourquoi une certaine misogynie remplace-t-elle le culte de la Dame ? Car, exclue de la recherche du Graal, la femme subit bien la réprobation portée sur la sexualité, et au mythe du sang féminin corrupteur s'oppose désormais le dogme du sang christique salvateur. En retraçant, puis en analysant les nombreuses et étranges aventures de ce chevalier trop parfait, Philippe Walter nous mène - notamment à partir des traditions celtiques - au cœur de l'imaginaire médiéval du XIIIe siècle.

Abstract

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 thatmade 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.
