Arthurian Literature

Texts
– Perlesvaus. (Otherwise known as The High History of the Holy Grail, in the early translation by Sebastian Evans). A better, modern version by Nigel Bryant was published as The High Book of the Grail by Rowman & Littlefield in 1979. The most mystical version of all. A “must”.
– Queste Del Saint Graal. From the Vulgate Cycle, translated as The Quest of the Holy Grail by P. Matarasso. Penguin books 1969. The Cistercian version, very Christian.

– Parzival. By Wolfram von Eschenbach. Translated by H.M. Mustard & Co, Vintage Books, 1961. The oddest of them all in some ways – very hard to read, but there is also a newer translation from Penguin in August, 1980. This one for all the links between East and West, and the West for connecting with the Tee

– Conte de Graal. Translated as The Story of the Grail, by Chretien de Troyes. The first Grail text to come down to us. Very important.

Peredus, in the Mabinogion.

Critical Works
Divided into four sections: Inner, Mystical, Literary, and Historical. There is, of course, some overlap.

A) Inner:

— The Legend of the Holy Grail. Order of the Rose Cross. Still one of the best, but be warned: the literary side is full of mistakes.

— Avalon of the Heart, Dion Fortune. No comment!

— Orders of the Quest — The Holy Grail, Manley P. Hall. Anthroposophical Publishing, 1960. A bit of a mishmash, but worth reading.

— Mysteries of the Holy Grail, Corinne Heline. Very Christian, but a very unusual angle. Genuine received text.



B) Mystical

— Viscio Pacis: Holy City of the Grail, Helen Adolf. Very important book, this. Hard to get hold of, so better place an ad in the Astral Times! A genuine attempt to put the Grail in a Mystical context.

— The Sovereign Adventure, Anna Morduch.

— The Rose-Garden Game, Eithne Wilkins. Yes, a book about rosaries, but packed with clues and hinds about the Grail of Arthur.

— Arthurian Torso, Charles Williams. Unfinished at his death. CW’s apotheosis, and a book which says more about Arthur&Co than a dozen others ever could. For the advanced, could be dynamite

C) Literary

— The Evolution of the A.A. Rom, J.D. Bruce. Not too easy to get, and expensive (2vols hardbound) but still the best history of the literary development around. With this up your sleeve you can become an expert in a week!

— The Grail Legends, Emma Jun & Marie-Heloise von Franz. The best historical overview so far.

The Hidden Church of the Holy Grail, A.E. Waite. It is impossible to read, like A.E.W.’s things, but my goodness there’s a lot in it!


D) Historical

— Arthur’s Avalon, G. Ashe. Also, From Caesar to Avalon.

— The Grail: From Celtic Myth to Christian Romance, R.S. Lodmus

— From Ritual to Romance, J.L. Weston. Still the best for oddball theories. Gave rise to Eliot of course. What better recommendation could you want!



General Works on the Whole Cycle

— King Arthur and the Grail, Richard Cavendish

— The Arthurian Legends, Richard Barber. A lovely book, this,. Samples all the texts with explanations and lots of pictures.

— King Arthur, King of Kings, Jean Markale. A bit Marxist in its leanings, but still an exciting and reliable read.


Addenda

— History of the Kings of Britain, Geoffrey of Monmouth. A pseudo-history of Britain, though historians are beginning to wonder…

— Romance of Tristan, Beroul. An earlier, sparser version of Gottfried.

— Gawaine and the Green Knight. There are dozens of translations, of which the best I think is that of J.R.R. Tolkien.

— The Knightly Tales of Sir Gawain, edited and translated by L.B. Hall. Contains nearly everything about the grate sun-hero, including the wonderful “Wedding” of Sir G. and Dame Ragnell.

— Triodd Ynys Prydein (Trials of the Island of Britain), edited and translated by Radell Bromwich. A storehouse of marvels.
