Abstract: '...The varied and often dangerous peregrinations and encounters of Arthur's knights in their search for the Holy Grail symbolize man's equally perilous search for the Grace of God. These chivalrous adventures sweeten the author's didactic pill, and the fusion of Christian symbolism and Celtic legend gives a mystical aura and tragic grandeur to the whole. The Quest is in fact a renunciation of the courtly ideals of the Romances sung by the early troubadours.'
