About this listen

In From Ritual to Romance, medievalist Jessie L. Weston proposes a radical understanding of the Holy Grail legends. She argues that ancient pagan rituals, brought to England by the Romans, were secretly kept alive through the tales of King Arthur and his Knights.

First published in 1920, this work has served as inspiration not only for fellow scholars, but also for artists like the poet T. S. Eliot and the filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola.
