Title: Malory's Grail Seekers and fifteen century English Hagiography : Studies in Humanities Volume 44.
Description: Peter Lang, 1999. Hardcover. No dj. Malory's version of the Grail Quest in "The Morte Darthur" presents several difficulties for scholars, most important, whether it should be read as a chivalric romance or as a theological treatise like its source, the French "Queste." This study looks at a popular fifteenth-century English genre - the saints' lives - and shows that Malory's Grail story reads very much like the saints' lives written by Lydgate, Capgrave, and Bokenham, which satisfied the same readership that Malory enjoyed. As Vinaver observed, Malory's Grail story had -more in common with the lives of saints- than with chivalric romance.". Very good condition. 129pp. ISBN 9780820441238.
