4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent summary of the Perceval tradition.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Legend of Sir Perceval (Hardcover)
The less-than-perfect ranking is simply because Weston's work has been superseded in many areas by modern Arthurian scholars. This study of the Perceval legend is still one of the few places you can find a thorough overview of the entire collection of Grail stories that feature Sir Perceval as the hero. Weston includes many variants that are hard-to-find, unusual, and obscure. Her love of the Celtic-origin hypothesis and her pet notion that folklore and myth developed from ancient rituals color most of her commentary. Even so, the study was influential in its day and still holds value for the modern scholar.
