This poem was the first to introduce Lancelot as an important figure in the King Arthur legend.

Thematically this poem differs from Chretien's other romances - Lancelot and Guinevere's love is a serious crime against their king, Lancelot casts aside his knightly ideals and reputation for the sake of his beloved, and Arthur is endowed with a weaker personality

"De tous les chevaliers qui ont bercé nos rêves d'enfance, les plus prestigieux sont les Chevaliers de la Table ronde, réunis autour du roi Arthur. Dans Le Chevalier au Lion, Chrétien de Troyes raconte les prouesses du plus entreprenant d'entre eux, Yvain, en quête d'aventure et d'amour dans un monde merveilleux, peuplé de dragons, de géants, où sévissent d'étranges et cruelles coutumes. Ce n'est que grâce à l'aide d'un lion, symbole de courage, de loyauté et de noblesse, qu'Yvain peut en venir à bout et, au terme d'un itinéraire initiatique tourmenté, devenir enfin pleinement lui-même.

The complete story of the Grail : Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval and its continuations by
Chrétien(
)
8 editions published between 2015 and 2018 in English and held by 379 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The mysterious and haunting Grail makes its first appearance in literature in ChreÌ#x81;tien de Troyes' Perceval at the end of the twelfth century. But ChreÌ#x81;tien never finished his poem, leaving an unresolved story and an incomplete picture of the Grail. It was, however, far too attractive an idea to leave. Not only did it inspire quite separate works; his own unfinished poem was continued and finally completed by no fewer than four other writers. The Complete Story of the Grail is the first ever translation of the whole of the rich and compelling body of tales contained in ChreÌ#x81;tien's poem and its four Continuations, which are finally attracting the scholarly attention they deserve. Besides ChreÌ#x81;tien's original text, there are the anonymous First Continuation (translated here in its fullest version), the Second Continuation attributed to Wauchier de Denain, and the intriguing Third and Fourth Continuations - probably written simultaneously, with no knowledge of each other's work - by Manessier and Gerbert de Montreuil. Two other poets were drawn to create preludes explaining the background to ChreÌ#x81;tien's story, and translated here also are their works: The Elucidation Prologue and Bliocadran. Only in this, The Story of the Grail's complete form, can the reader appreciate the narrative skill and invention of the medieval poets and their surprising responses to ChreÌ#x81;tien's theme - not least their crucial focus on the knight as a crusader. Equally, ChreÌ#x81;tien's original poem was almost always copied in conjunction with one or more of the Continuations, so this translation represents how most medieval readers would have encountered it. Nigel Bryant's previous translations from Medieval French include Perlesvaus - the High Book of the Grail, Robert de Boron's trilogy Merlin and the Grail, the Medieval Romance of Alexander, The True Chronicles of Jean le Bel and Perceforest
