The idea of the quest, crucial to Arthurian literature, investigated in texts, manuscripts, and film.The theme of the quest in Arthurian literature - mainly but not exclusively the Grail quest - is explored in the essays presented here, covering French, Dutch, Norse, German, and English texts. A number of the essays trace the relationship, often negative, between Arthurian chivalry and the Grail ethos. Whereas most of the contributors reflect on the popularity of the Grail quest, several examine the comparative rarity of the Grail in certain literatures and define the elaboration of quest motifs severed from the Grail material. An appendix to the volume offers a filmography that includes all the cinematic treatments of the Grail, either as central theme or minor motif.This book will appeal to students, scholars, and general readers fascinated by the Arthurian and Grail legends.CONTRIBUTORS: NORRIS J.
