Twelfth-century French poet Chrétien de Troyes was one of the most influential figures in Western literature, for his romantic poems on the legend of King Arthur gave rise to a tradition of storytelling that continues to this day. This important and fascinating book is a study of all of Chrétien’s work. Joseph J. Duggan begins with an introduction that sets Chrétien within the social and intellectual currents of his time. He then organizes the book in chapters that focus on major issues in Chrétien’s romances rather than on individual works, topics that range from the importance of kinship and genealogy to standards of secular moral responsibility and from Chrétien’s art of narration to his representation of knighthood. Duggan offers new perspectives on many of these themes: in a chapter on the influence of Celtic mythology, for example, he gives special attention to the ways Chrétien integrated portrayals of motivation with mythic themes and characters, and in discussing the Grail romance, he explores the parallels between Perceval’s and Gauvain’s adventures.

The tenth volume of Arthurian Literature continues some ofthe themes of earlier issues, as well as exploring unfamiliar andcontroversial ground. The second part of CHRISTINE POULSON's survey of the Arthurian legend in 19th-century art is an analysisby subject of the works catalogued by artist in Arthurian Literature IX. A. H. W. SMITH provides a substantial update to MaryWildman's bibliography of modern Arthurian literature which appearedin Arthurian Literature II, adding not only recent works butalso many items missing from the earlier list. Mr Smith also contributesan article on Ponticus Virumnius and the text of Gildas, one of themore intriguing mysteries of Arthurian text history, and sets outVirumnius' claim to have seen a poem by Gildas which has since disappeared. ARMEL DIVERRES writes on the origins of Chretien de Troyes'Conte del Graal; he argues that we should seek the poet's inspiration in the crusading activities of Philip of Flanders, supporting his case with a careful examination of many otherwise difficult passages in the poem.

When the first American Pope acquires the Spear of Destiny, the weapon that pierced the side of Jesus Christ, he recruits Lucas Lovelock, an alcoholic scientist on the verge of suicide, to analyze the blood enveloping the artifact - an event that uncovers the key to an amazing power that can change all of humanity. The Spear of Destiny is the symbol of an organization that has manipulated and influenced history since the time of the Crucifixion: the Desposyni, those of the family of Jesus, who have grown from a handful of refugees to a force large enough to threaten their bitter enemy, the Catholic Church. We follow this ancient battle from the slums of Jerusalem to the banks of the Rhine, through Popes, Saints, rogues and heroes, from dark destruction of knowledge to bright acceptance of man's responsibility to his brother. From Jesus to Hitler, the bloody struggle has raged. And in the present, Lucas Lovelock analyzes the Spear, as the clear light of science exposes the secrets of this Desposyni symbol. Meanwhile, crowds are gathering, determined to disrupt the examination of the Holy Spear and prevent the truth from coming to light, as the millennia-long battle between the Desposyni and the Catholic finally climaxes. The Desposyni hold a power undreamt of, and they have a plan to use it. After all, what good is it to be merely of the family of Jesus, unless you also possess his abilities?

In the twelfth century, a French poet wrote a verse romance about a young knight who witnesses a mysterious procession centered on a radiant vessel, a "grail." Left unfinished, the poem inspired other writers of prose and verse, until the story was completely rewritten into the Arthurian romances, in which the vessel becomes a relic of the Last Supper, the Holy Grail. For hundreds of years, the Grail story has haunted the western imagination. But the original medieval texts are full of inconsistencies, as different writers attempted to complete the story in varied ways. This encyclopedia illuminates a path through the Perilous Forest of literature and legend. Entries summarize the stories of the principal characters, sacred objects and places associated with the Grail. An Afterword shows how mysteries of the grail continue to enchant the scholars and creative writers who have transformed the medieval legend into modern mythology.
