The Mystical Way and the Arthurian Quest

Derek Bryce

4.9/5 (9526 ratings)

Description:In a sense, this is two books in one, for the true meaning of the Arthurian quest can only be understood within the general context of the mystical way, and from the point of view of the ancient traditional worlds. The reason for this is that we know so little about mysticism at the time of the Druids, and in the early Christian period, that the gaps have to be filled in by reference to other sources.The first part of the book concentrates therefore on the world-view of the ancient civilisations, and on the mystical way in general.The second part looks at the Arthurian Saga within the context of world mysticism. It includes not only the story of the Grail, but other quest, love, and adventure tales such as Peredur, Culhwch and Olwen, Tristan and Isoude, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.The final part discusses the form taken by the quest after the Middle Ages, with reference to the English Platonists, some of the alchemists of the period. It ends with an indication of the relevance of the quest to modern times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
