Book Overview

von Eschenbach, translated by Jessie L. WestonParzival V2: A Knightly Epic is a translation of the medieval German epic poem Parzival, written by Wolfram von Eschenbach in the early 13th century. The poem tells the story of Parzival, a young knight who embarks on a quest for the Holy Grail. Along the way, he encounters a variety of characters and faces many challenges, including battles with other knights and tests of his character and faith. The translation is done by Jessie L. Weston, a British author and scholar who specialized in medieval literature. She worked on the translation for several years and published it in 1912. This edition includes the second volume of the translation, which covers the second half of the poem. The book includes an introduction by Weston, in which she provides background information on the poem and its author, as well as an analysis of its themes and symbolism. The translation itself is presented in verse form, with each line of the original German poem rendered into English. Parzival V2: A Knightly Epic is considered one of the most important works of medieval literature and has had a significant influence on later works of literature and art. It is a complex and multi-layered work that explores themes of chivalry, love, faith, and redemption. This translation by Jessie L. Weston is widely regarded as one of the best available and is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval literature or the Arthurian legend.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
