| Summary: | The myth of the Grail has been formed in literature. It has been given birth by Chretien de Troyes and was influenced by holly texts. At first, the Grail is not sacred but it appears in a mysterious chain of events and gives birth to a myth which will be rewritten several times. The Grail reappears during the 19th century in a sporadic way but this myth gains its apogee in the 20th century and we can talk about a new cycle of the Grail due to authors such as Alphonse de Chateaubriant (La Reponse du Seigneur), Jean Cocteau (Les Chevaliers de la Table Ronde), Julien Gracq (Le Roi Pecheur) and Pierre Benoit (Monsalvat). So we have several novels of the Grail but they are different. In this research we try to study and deduce the rules of the evolution of this myth in French literature. |
