During the late 12th Century, the Arthurian legends first took
their form in the imagination of French-speaking romancers.
Foremost among these poets was the great Chretien de Troyes,
credited with incorporating into the Arthurian tradition the quest
for the Holy Grail and the adulterous affair between Lancelot and
Guinevere. This critical text explores the French roots of the
legends and the source material of the individual characters, with
special attention to the creative role played by de Troyes, whose
contribution to the saga continues to shape and inform the modern
imagination.
