Description
1869 Vision of Sir Launfal by Lowell HOLY GRAIL Medieval Crusades Americana
The Vision of Sir Launfal is a fascinating, popular portrayal of the iconic Holy Grail story. The classic tale follows the adventures of a knight in search for the Holy Grail; however, author James Russell Lowell, deviates from the expected outcome and has the knight seeking charity rather than the Grail itself. Lowell, an American poet, was heavily influenced by Tennyson and Thomas Malory, which is evident in his poetry. Interestingly, while the poem is set in medieval Crusades times, the work contains descriptions of a pre-Civil War American lifestyle.
