An in-depth look at the themes of the Grail Quest, and at Gawain, a complex figure who holds opposites in balance.

The early chroniclers of Britain presented the island as the promised land of the Roman goddess Diana. Later, a new literary concept of the island was promoted: the promised land of the Holy Grail. This book explores the conflict between Goddess and Grail - a rift less about paganism versus Christianity and more about religious literalism versus spiritual imagination.

He thus adds to a tradition of Arthurian epic begun by Layamon in the 13th century and continued by Edmund Spenser in the 16th, in which a Romano-Celtic warlord becomes an icon of the English imagination.
