From Ritual to Romance

From Ritual to Romance, published in 1920 by Jessie L. Weston, explores the origins of the King Arthur legends, focusing on the interplay between pagan traditions and Christian influences. The book particularly examines the Holy Grail tradition and the Wasteland motif. It draws on earlier works, notably James George Frazer's The Golden Bough, and has been referenced by T. S.
