Alfred Trübner Nutt's 'Studies on the Legend of the Holy Grail' is a comprehensive exploration of the Grail romance cycle. Nutt does not aim to give a complete overview of the legend but instead focuses on particular aspects and problems that the romance cycle presents. The book provides valuable insights into the literature connected with the Grail cycle, including summaries of leading forms of the Romance and the development of the Queste. Nutt also delves into the Celtic origins of the Grail and the Christian transformation of the legend. Moreover, the book offers an in-depth examination of the moral and spiritual import of the Grail legend and its popularity in medieval literature, including the individual hero, knighthood, the role of women, and the supernatural.
