The High History of the Holy Graal

by (anon.) from c. 1200–1225 CE

About

The Perlesvaus (c. 1200-1225) is the most disturbing and spiritually intense of the Grail romances: Perceval's quest rendered as a sequence of strange, often violent allegorical adventures in which the Grail castle is perpetually nearby but endlessly deferred. Evans's Victorian translation gives it a deliberately archaic English that fits the material.

Translated from the original French.
