Description
The influence of medieval literature is instantly apparent in modern fantasy literature, where knights and wizards populate castle-strewn landscapes. Using Jungian theory and comparative analysis, this book explores the connections between the three genres.

Gemstone Of Paradise : The Holy Grail In Wolfram’s Parzival

Attribution
G. Ronald Murphy
Publication Details

- Table of contents
- Publisher description
Description
Wolfram’s “sacred stone” was none other than a consecrated altar, precious by virtue of the sacrament but also, Murphy argues, by virtue of the material from which it was made: a green gem, one of the precious stones associated with the rivers of Paradise. In Wolfram’s story, warring Christian and Muslim brothers are brought together in peace by the power of Wolfram’s Holy Grail–a stone Murphy believes still exists. Murphy’s investigation of the spiritual nature and meaning of the Grail is thus accompanied by his quest for and wondrous discovery of the actual altar stone that inspired Wolfram’s work.
