  • Religion and Religious Symbolism in the Tale of the Grail by Three Authors
    Faculty of Arts English and German Philology and Translation & Interpretation COMPARATIVE LITERATURE: RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS SYMBOLISM IN THE TALE OF THE GRAIL BY THREE AUTHORS by ASIER LANCHO DIEGO DEGREE IN ENGLISH STUDIES TUTOR: CRISTINA JARILLOT RODAL JUNE 2017 ABSTRACT: The myth of the Grail has long been recognised as the cornerstone of Arthurian literature. Many studies have been conducted on the subject of Christian symbolism in the major Grail romances. However, the aim of the present paper is to prove that the 15th-century “Tale of the Sangrail”, found in Le Morte d’Arthur, by Thomas Malory, presents a greater degree of Christian coloration than 12th-century Chrétien de Troyes’ Perceval and Wolfram von Eschenbach’s Parzival. In order to evaluate this claim, the origin and function of the main elements at the Grail Ceremony were compared in the first place. Secondly, the main characters’ roles were examined to determine variations concerning religious beliefs and overall character development. The findings demonstrated that the main elements at the Grail Ceremony in Thomas Malory’s “The Tale of the Sangrail” are more closely linked to Christian motifs and that Perceval’s psychological development in the same work conflicts with that of a stereotypical Bildungsroman, in contrast with the previous 12th-century versions of the tale. Keywords: The Tale of the Grail, Grail Ceremony, Holy Grail, Christian symbolism INDEX 1.

King Arthur was a legendary ruler of Britain whose life and deeds became the basis for a collection of tales known as the Arthurian legends. As the leading figure in British mythology, King Arthur is a national hero and a symbol of Britain's heroic heritage. But his appeal is not limited to Britain. The Arthurian story—with its elements of mystery, magic, love, war, adventure, betrayal, and fate—has touched the popular imagination and has become part of the world's shared mythology. The Celts blended stories of the warrior Arthur with those of much older mythological characters, such as Gwydion (pronounced GWID-yon), a Welsh priest-king. Old Welsh tales and poems place Arthur in traditional Celtic legends, including a hunt for an enchanted wild pig and a search for a magic cauldron, or kettle. In addition, Arthur is surrounded by a band of loyal followers who greatly resemble the disciples of Finn , the legendary Irish hero.

  • Onetouch 4.6 Scanned Documents
    THE WORLD'S GREATEST KNIGHT: MALORY, THEME AND FORM E. L. Risden One of the thorny problems ofreading Thomas Malory arises from the question of whether we should see the episodes as isolated, merely collected stories (beyond of course their essentially chronological order) or as a thematic continuum. One of the sticky problems of teaching Malory in a medieval survey or medieval romance course or even in a King Arthur course involves deciding how to excerpt, since the Works (as Vinaverterms the book) could itself fill a course. We can hardly ignore this central clearing house of Arthurian material, but which tales should we foreground? What themes or concerns should we stress? How can we, as we must almost inevitably do, account-beyond individual preferences-for our choices? What was Malory doing, what is he about, and can we find any central issue to use as a guide? The MLA's Approaches to Teaching the Arthurian Tradition makes a good starting point for course-design questions. Maureen Fries suggests a number of interesting combinations of Arthurian works for courses at various levels from high school to graduate. Philip Boardman suggests blending medieval and modem versions to exploit the contemporary revival of interest in connections among myth, magic, and religion. Robert Kindrick aptly points out that separating Caxton's editing from Malory's intent constitutes an immediate problem in Malory scholarship. As much as one may say that the Morie Darthur is about anything, I would like to suggest that it follows the various characters called "the world's greatest knight" in an effort to define, redefine, and solidify our understanding of how a knight attains that title.

  • C.S. Lewis and King Arthur
    C.S. Lewis and King Arthur A Talk Given at the C.S. Lewis Society, Oxford, 1st March 2016 Thank you for letting me speak to you tonight on the subject of ‘C.S. Lewis and King Arthur’. My topic is titled ‘C.S. Lewis and King Arthur’. I didn’t spend a lot of time thinking that up. To introduce myself: like many of you, I grew up with the Narnian stories and even once tried to get into Narnia. I remember lying in bed one morning, about eight or nine years old, and feeling that if I opened my cupboard door at this moment I might find myself in Narnia. I crept out of bed and tried it: no luck. Embarrassingly, I later on grew up and gave the illusion of being an adult. But at the back of my mind was a longing to visit that land I 1 had glimpsed in C.S. Lewis’s stories. I found, to my delight, that reading and thinking about Arthurian literature was another way to glimpse that land, which wasn’t only Narnia, but the land of magic and fairytale. Even better, they would let me do a PhD on the topic. Arthurian literature is, in one sense, of a time. Authors usually set the stories against a backdrop of knights, castles, magic, and tournaments. We immediately recognise it as an age of chivalry. And yet that age never existed; it doesn’t correspond to a single historical period, and is in fact a mismatch of Dark Age paganism, Medieval Christianity, and elements of the author’s own time.

  • Style in Malory's Book of Balin
    BRIQGS, CAROL REID. Style in Malory's Book of Balin. (1977) Directed by: Dr. James I. Wimsatt. Pp. 65. The purpose of this study is to reveal the beginning of Malory's selfconscious artistry as it is exhibited in his book of Balin. I attempt to reveal this through an examina- tion of his prose style, primarily by viewing the changes lie makes in his French source. In the first chapter I define style as not only syntax and the arrangement of words out also narrative structural devices. The second chapter deals with these narrative structural devices. In the third, fourth and fifth chapters I examine the stylistic techniques Malory uses in his narration, description and dialogue. The final chapter looks at "Balin" and its relationship to "The Tale of King Arthur" and the entire Le Morte Darthur.
