Eternal Chalice : The Enduring Legend Of The Holy Grail

Attribution
Juliette WoodPublication Details
BookI.B. Tauris2008Description
“What is the secret of the Grail?” Many different meanings have been devised for the Grail, which has been linked to the Celts and King Arthur, the eucharistic rites of Eastern Christianity, ancient mystery religions, Jungian archetypes, dualist heresies, Templar treasure and even the alleged descendants of Christ himself and Mary Magdalene. Juliette Wood here reveals the elusive and embedded significance of the Grail story in popular consciousness–as myth, medieval romance, tangible holy relic and finally as the centre of an esoteric theory of global conspiracy.

The Place Of The Cross In Anglo-Saxon England

Attribution
edited by Catherine E. Karkov, Sarah Larratt Keefer and Karen Louise JollyPublication Details
BookBoydell2006Description
The cross in early medieval England was so ubiquitous as to become invisible to the modern eye: it played an innovative role in Anglo-Saxon culture, evident in art, architecture, material culture, literature, ritual, medicine, and popular practice. The essays in this volume move us from the place of the cross in the origins of Anglo-Saxon England and the Anglo-Saxon church, to its place in the expansion of the early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms both within and beyond England.
