From Ritual To Romance
From Ritual to Romance
is a
1921
book written by
Jessie L. Weston
. The work's fame rests on it being mentioned by
T. S. Eliot
in the notes to his poem,
The Waste Land
:
"Not only the title, but the plan and a good deal of the incidental symbolism of the poem were suggested by Miss Jessie L. Weston's book."
Weston's book is an academic examination of the roots of the
King Arthur
-
Holy Grail
legends and seeks to make connections between the early
pagan
elements and the later
Christian
influences. The origins of Weston's book are in
James George Frazer
's seminal work on
folklore
,
magic
and
religion
,
The Golden Bough
, and in the works of Miss
Jane Ellen Harrison
.
