How de Holy Grail ended up in O Cebreiro, Galicia2012 •
Una leyenda moderna dice que el Santo Grial fue escondido a O Cebreiro en Galicia. Me encontré con una posible explicación de esta en la realización de investigaciones sobre San Gerardo de Aurillac, santo francés del siglo décimo. Había en la Edad Media un convento dedicado a él, mas tarde abandonado. Fue también un milagro recordado por haber tenido lugar allí, donde un sacerdote, no convencido de la transubstanciación, vio el pan y el vino ritual transforma en carne y sangre. Cuando San Gerardo se mencionó a los peregrinos que pasaran por O Cebreiro, cofundaron su nombre –Sant Gral en gallego– con el cáliz del milagro y lo mal identificaron como el Santo Grial-Sant Grial en gallego. La leyenda se elaboró por Ramón Cabanillas, poeta gallego moderno, de manera nostálgica que recuerda San Gerardo y sus biografías medievales: una mezcla de devoción religiosa con un código marcial.
The article provides a summary of the doctoral thesis in English literature, entitled « Representations of the Grail Quest in Medieval and Modern Literature », was directed by Dr Raluca L. Radulescu and Prof Tony Brown. The thesis was presented on January 31, 2014, at the School of English, Bangor University. By closely engaging with medieval and modern versions of the Grail quest and by examining the medieval romances through the experience of minor and non-elect characters, the thesis offers a new perspective not only on the studied texts but also on the entire tradition of the Grail quest in medieval and modern literature. Moreover, the thesis contributes to the burgeoning field of medievalist studies, showing how modern texts can reveal new meanings when examined in the light of medieval tradition to which they allude, both directly and indirectly.
The initial draft of my review of Andrea Williams book was longer than the published version. The final copy was shortened solely to fit the editorial requirements of the journal in which it appeared. To achieve this, my comments on the work as a whole had to be shortened, and discussion on particular sections of the work had to be dropped. The material published here offers further clarification of points raised in the published review.
