The original version of one of the greatest and most potent of
medieval legends. Chretien de Troyes' Perceval is the most
important single Arthurian romance. It contains the very first
mention of the mysterious grail, later to become the Holy Grail and
the focal point of the spiritual quest of the knights of Arthur's
court. Chretien left the poem unfinished, but the extraordinary and
intriguing theme of the Grail was too good to leave, and other
poets continued and eventually completed it. This is the only
English translation to include selections from the three
continuations and from the work of Gerbert de Montreuil, making the
romance a coherent whole, and following through Chretien's
essential theme of the making of a knight, in both worldlyand
spiritual terms. It is thus the most complete account available in
English of the essential Arthurian romance, the origin of the Grail
legend.
