The Vulgate Version of the Arthurian Romances, Vol. 1: Edited From Manuscripts in the British Museum; Lestoire Del Saint Graal (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the fascinating world of Arthurian romances, exploring their origins, development, and the intricate relationships between various versions of these timeless tales. The author challenges long-held assumptions about the influence of Celtic mythology, arguing instead for a predominantly French origin of the stories as we know them today. Through meticulous analysis of manuscripts and a deep understanding of medieval literature, the author sheds light on the evolution of key characters like Merlin and Lancelot, revealing their transformations from enigmatic figures to embodiments of chivalry and courtly love. The book delves into the complex process of compiling and adapting earlier source materials, including the works of Chretien de Troyes and Robert de Boron, to create the vast and interconnected body of Arthurian prose romances known as the Vulgate Cycle. By tracing the development of these stories and examining the motivations of the writers and compilers who shaped them, the author offers a fresh perspective on the enduring legacy of Arthurian legend. This book's insights illuminate the intricate tapestry of history, literature, and cultural influences that have contributed to the timeless appeal of King Arthur and his knights.
