Description
|
|
|
|
Charting the emergence of the legend of the Grail, this volume offers insight into the shift from Celtic paganism to Christianity in Western Europe. The influence of Eastern mysticism emerges in the Grail romances as a result of the clash of cultures and the mix of ideas in the medieval crusades, as Giles Morgan describes here; since then the Grail has come to symbolize the ultimate achievement and has fascinated such modern minds as Carl Jung, T.S. Eliot, and William Blake. Compact and handsomely produced (with curved spines, gold stamping, and generous margins), this book is one of the Pocket Essentials series—concise cultural guides offering facts and opinions, history and insights, essays by experts, and detailed information.
