Chrétien, Troyes, and the Grail - Paperback

by Urban T. Holmes (Author), M. Amelia Klenke (Author)

This book presents new and convincing evidence demonstrating the Judeo-Christian themes and allegory of Chrétien de Troys' Conte del Graal. Basing the study on a careful analysis of Chrétien's milieu as well as on his work itself, the authors seek the essential meaning of the most significant masterpiece of the Middle Ages before Dante.
