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.

Le Lanzelet d’Ulrich von Zatzikhoven, adaptation d’un « livre français » aujourd’hui perdu, a été composé vers 1200. Par sa genèse comme par la diversité de ses facettes, l’œuvre sollicite l’intérêt de plusieurs disciplines. La mise en perspective des différents aspects du Lanzelet reste un chantier largement ouvert. La relation existant entre ce récit, d’une part, et le Lancelot de Chrétien de Troyes comme le Lancelot en prose, d’autre part, demeure déroutante, car si Lanzelet est lui aussi tout dévoué à la reine Guenièvre (Ginovere), son engagement n’est nullement motivé par la passion amoureuse, mais par la solidarité familiale et curiale. Mais plus que cette altérité encore, c’est la dualité du récit pris en lui-même qui frappe. Ce Lancelot-là est à la fois terrien et léger. Terrien parce que les différents épisodes amoureux et conjugaux au centre desquels se trouve le héros sont agencés, hiérarchisés et combinés avec le début (élimination du père par les barons révoltés) et la fin de l’histoire (retour de l’héritier) de façon à suggérer ce que peut être la bonne articulation entre la conduite judicieuse des affaires matrimoniales et la gestion éclairée du patrimoine dans un cadre dynastique. Terrien, le récit l’est aussi par son goût prononcé du dicton. Mais il est également léger : le héros ne s’enracine que progressivement et traverse d’abord l’existence avec une parfaite insouciance. Le récit est riche par ailleurs en citations, en notices de géographie fabuleuse, en historiettes, bref en matière de conversation pour gens de cour. Ce contraste a de quoi intriguer la critique, mais il est pour beaucoup dans le charme de l’œuvre.

Der »Prosa-Lancelot« stellt nach wie vor eine Herausforderung für die mediävistischen Forschung dar. Da es sich bei dem mittelhochdeutschen Werk um die Übersetzung einer altfranzösischen Vorlage handelt, die z.T. über eine niederländische Zwischenstufe vermittelt sein könnte, ist der Roman im Kontext der französischen, niederländischen und deutschen Literaturgeschichte zu lesen. In Deutschland wird der »Lancelot en Prose« in der modernen Prosaform rezipiert, in den Niederlanden aber außerdem wieder als Versroman bearbeitet. Aufgrund dessen ist eine Untersuchung des Werks sinnvoll nur interdisziplinär anzugehen. Der Band beinhaltet die germanistischen, romanistischen und niederlandistischen sowohl literaturwissenschaftlichen als auch sprachhistorischen Beiträge zur Tübinger Lancelot-Tagung im September 2004. Die Aufsätze konzentrieren sich auf die Themenfelder: I. Übersetzungspraxis und Prosa-Stil, II. Erzählstrategien und Sinnkonstitution, III. Überlieferung und Wirkung.

Thematically and as a narrative technique, interlace, the complex weaving together of many different story-telling strands, comes to its full development in the intriguing conclusion of the Prose Lancelot. The Grail appears on the horizon and although Lancelot's love for Guenevere still makes him the best knight in the world, it becomes clear that this very love disqualifies him from the Grail Quest. Meanwhile, the adventures of a myriad Arthurian knights continue to be followed. This study explains how the interlace works and shows that it is the perfect vehicle for the relation of the events. It discusses the division of the narrative into threads, their interweaving, convergence and divergence, the gradual introduction of the Grail theme and its first climax (the begetting of Galahad), the distribution of information to the audience, the use of dramatic irony and emotions, and many other aspects of this major innovation in story-telling technique.
