Résumé
In "From Ritual to Romance, " Jessie Laidlay Weston embarks on a seminal exploration of the intersections between ancient ritual practices and medieval romance literature. Her incisive analysis delves into the rich tapestry of myth, ritual, and narrative, illuminating how the rites of fertility and regeneration inform the chivalric ideals found in Arthurian legends and the Grail stories. With a meticulous attention to detail, Weston employs an interdisciplinary approach that blends folklore, anthropology, and literary criticism, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century literary studies, a time when the impact of myth was increasingly recognized in modern literature.
As an eminent scholar deeply invested in the connection between folklore and literature, Weston was influenced by the burgeoning interest in myth and its relevance to contemporary narrative forms. Her academic career, marked by a passion for the study of pre-Christian customs and paganism, provided her with a unique lens through which to examine the transformative journey of the quest narrative'-a core theme that reverberates throughout literary history.
