Symbolika średniowiecznych motywów liturgicznych w powieści arturiańskiej na przykładzie "Poszukiwania świętego Graala" (La Queste del Saint Graal)

Journal Title: Przegląd Humanistyczny - Year 2016, Vol 60, Issue 2

Abstract

The presented paper focuses on the topic of liturgical motifs – their variety, as well as symbolism – found in The Quest for the Holy Grail: one of the novel parts that altogether form the 13th-century saga of Arthurian prose. The main aim of the article is to highlight the references and allegories of both religious as well as ideological nature, which have been implemented by the (anonymous) author of the writing. What follows is the classification (methodological categorisation) of such motifs, definition of their potential purpose, and – last but not the least – an attempt to comprehend their origin in view of the cultural landscape of the historical period, in which the Quest has been composed.<br/><br/>
