	Amazon.co.uk: From Ritual to Romance (Mythos): Books: Jessie L. Weston,Robert A. Segal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Weston examines the saga of the Grail, which, in many versions, begins when the wounded king of a famished land sees a procession of objects including a bleeding lance and a bejewelled cup.
		One small criticism is that the author is sometimes overly pre-occupied with addressing expectant critics and far too often deviates from her investigation to make pleas directly to her peers to consider her evidence/theory with an open mind.
		She refers to various Grail texts without presenting much background and you're left to fill in the blanks if you can, which isn't too difficult but, as a literary style, it is not very thorough.

	Jessie L. Weston, From Ritual to Romance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		Weston asserted that the Grail legend evolved from the fertility rituals of these nature cults, the Grail itself representing the female principle, the Lance of the legend its male counterpart.
		Weston was more concerned with their private, or esoteric flavour, seeing in the mysteries an attempt to merge generative power (fertility) with a desire for union with the deity.
		Weston's tendency to make leaps of logic that were not supported by her evidence, literary or factual, or by her equally likely tendency to dismiss plausible alternative explanations.

		Weston's reference to the "short space" is to the period of roughly fifty years during the end of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteen centuries when the literature known to most scholars as "Grail literature" was composed.
		Jessie L. Weston and I agree that the Grail author Wolfram von Eschenbach knew what the Grail actually was and is, and that Wolfram told his readers and listeners as much as he could if he were to keep his flesh from being cut, torn, scraped, and burned off his bones.
		Weston understood that the Grail was not a chalice; rather, that an image that came and went on the Grail was "in the semblance of a chalice." Quest, at page 151.

	An Introduction to "From Ritual to Romance" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-01)
		From Ritual to Romance was written by Jesse L(aidlay) Weston (1850-1928) and first published in 1920 by the Cambridge University Press.
		Weston examines the story of the Holy Grail looking at Celtic and Christian legends, and explores what she believes are its Gnostic roots.
		Indeed, so deeply am I indebted, Miss Weston's book will elucidate the difficulties of the poem much better than my notes can do; and I recommend it (apart from the great interest of the book itself) to any who think such elucidation of the poem worth the trouble.

		On the one hand, Eliot’s thematic and structural incorporation of mythic elements combined with his profound dependence on Weston’s archival work suggests myth is a means to recognize the order and meaning of human experience that is presently eclipsed by the events of the early twentieth century.
		Filled with echos of Jessie Weston’s book, Brooks explains that "Life devoid of meaning is death; sacrifice, even the sacrificial death, may be life-giving, an awakening to life" (Brooks 138).
		Weston’s central purpose is to retrace the development of the medieval Grail legends from their roots in ancient Nature cults.

		The knight has to restore the wounded king to health (often, there is something wrong with the king sexually) by undergoing some kind of crusade or trial which usually ends with the regeneration of the king and therefore of the land.
		In fact, there is a sense in both Weston and Frazer that the kind and the land are married as husband and wife and that his sin usually ends up in separation or divorce.
		The mythic pattern in Weston and Frazer usually assigns all the blame to the male figures, and treats the female land as an object which the king must somehow come along and put in order.

		Acknowledged by T. Eliot as crucial to understanding "The Waste Land," Jessie Weston's book has continued to attract readers interested in ancient religion, myth, and especially Arthurian legend.
		Weston examines the saga of the Grail, which, in many versions, begins when the wounded king of a famished land sees a procession of objects including a bleeding lance and a bejewelled cup.
		Drawing from J. Frazer, who studied ancient nature cults that associated the physical condition of the king with the productivity of the land, Weston considers how the legend of the Grail related to fertility rites--with the lance and the cup serving as sexual symbols.

	Folklore: Theorizing About Myth. - book review
		The ten essays in Professor Segal's volume on mythology were written over the past fifteen years in order to explore what he calls the "distinctiveness" of many of the leading theories of myth.
		The essays are presented in chronological order; not as they were written, but as they reflect the development of modern mythological theory from the end of the nineteenth century onwards.
		The main theories discussed are those of Edward Tylor, William Robertson Smith, James Frazer, the neo-Frazerians Jessie Weston and Lord Raglan, Jane Harrison, S. Hooke, Mircea Eliade, Rudolf Bultmann, Hans Jonas, Sigmund Freud and his disciples Otto Rank and Bruno Bettelheim, Carl Jung, Claude Levi-Strauss, Joseph Campbell and Hans Blumenberg.

	Folklore: Folklore Studies at the Celtic Dawn: The Role of Alfred Nutt as Publisher and Scholar
		He encouraged scholars such as Whitley Stokes, Kuno Meyer, Eleanor Hull and Jessie Weston to edit medieval romance and Celtic texts, many of which were published by his family publishing house, David Nutt and Co. He himself wrote extensively on Celtic tradition and the Grail material in particular.
		The Grimm Library was another of his ventures; this series included an influential collaboration between Nutt and Kuno Meyer on an edition and commentary of Imrainn Brain (Meyer and Nutt 1895-7) as well as translations and studies by Jessie Weston (Weston 1897; 1901b; 1902; 1906-9) and Eleanor Hull (Hull 1898).
		The Northern Library focused on saga material; the Tudor Library concentrated on Shakespeare and his contemporaries; and there was a separate series of Arthurian Romances not represented in Malory primarily translated by Jessie Weston (Weston 1899; 1900; 1901a; 1904).

		Jessie L. Weston's thesis is that the Grail legend was the surviving record of an initiation ritual.
		Later writers have reaffirmed the psychological validity of the link between such ritual, phallic religion, and the spiritual content of the Greek Mysteries.
