In this verse translation of "Perceval; or, The Story of the
Grail," Ruth Harwood Cline restores to life the thematically
crucial Arthurian tale of the education of a knight in his search
for the Holy Grail.
Cline's translation, faithful to the highly synthetic,
deliberately ornate nature of medieval French, follows Perceval
from his home in Wales, through his rich and raucous adventures as
a member of the fraternity of knights, to his climactic meeting
with the Fisher King. Paralyzed by his first glimpse of the Grail,
Perceval fails to save the ailing king. Distraught, the knight
begins a new quest for the Grail, a journey on the road of
penitence and faith. Perceval's venture, the true test of his
knighthood, ends without conclusion; the death of author Chretien
de Troyes left unsaid and undetermined the success of Perceval's
quest.
