EN 4504 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Robert De Boron, Chrétien De Troyes
Document Summary
We don"t know what the grail is supposed to symbolize. Chretien is not interested in creating a story; the third continuation is a connection of all objects. Versions: robert de boron links the grail to the last supper. Galahad -> one of the most holy, pious knights with no romantic connections (virgin knight), is lancelot"s son, Scribes, manuscript variation, translator, editor -> important part of arthurian literature. Acknowledge the difference between the translator, the editor, and the author (the editor is not always the author; read the preface to know whether there even is an author)
