Arthurian Novels

[oron]

Thanks, jd, for your reasoned and helpful answer.

Real Sangreal or just a contemporary sibling, it's interesting to me that while, for example, the Turin Shroud and the various slivers of wood said to be from the cross are very well known here, this putative Grail has somehow slipped completely under the radar.

I will try to find the books and authors you mentioned, though I'm not sure if either is available in the States. Thank you for the info, anyway. Anything else you run across in your travels will be most welcome as well.

BTW, I think Grail literature ought to include non-fiction as well as fiction; there's just as much of one as the other, after all. To that end, I might recommend a book called Bloodline of the Holy Grail by Laurence Gardner (published by Element Books and printed by Biddles Ltd in London). If you can get past the inherent implausibility of the core premise, the notion is quite fascinating and the evidence, if not compelling, is at least thought-provoking. It's fairly well-written, too.

Your welcome, oron!

The grail has indeed slipped under the radar, as you say. I have no explanation why it is so.

The splinters of the cross found and sold throughout the world would make a forest now, I think (just to judge from the ammount sold, hehehe).

I will check my computer today to find the file I mentioned, but no promises, I once had a hard virus attack which destroyed much of my data. I cannot say if the file does still exist or not.

All the best!
