The Quest of the Holy Grail - Jessie Laidlay Weston - Bog

Bag om The Quest of the Holy Grail

The Quest of the Holy Grail originally published in London by G Bell 1913 by Jessie Laidlay Weston (1850-1928) is a distillation of 20 years of Arthurian scholarship in one of the Western world's most enduring symbols. Was the Holy Grail the cup Jesus drank from at the Last Supper? The vessel in which Joseph of Arimethea received the blood of Christ? Or was it something else? Weston argues that the Grail legend is actually nature worship passed on as mystery and tradition. This fascinating book is a treasure to behold and gives as clearly and concisely as possible, a description of the literature composing the Grail cycle, an analysis of its contents and a survey of the leading theories which have arisen through this perplexing body of romance.
