Details: Lancelot is the central romance of the Vulgate Cycle, in which the chivalric elements in Arthurs court come to the fore. These chivalric elements contain the seeds of Arthurs destruction and the dissolution of the Round Table, as Lancelots love for Guinevere undermines his bond to Arthur; the tension between love, prowess and loyalty is the undercurrent of the long romance which describes the exploits which he performs in her service. It also includes many stories which are chivalric adventures largely unrelated to the main theme, and uses the device of interweaving these stories to form a huge stream of narrative. This series of episodic pictures leads ultimately to the birth of Lancelots son Galahad, who is destined to become the hero of the Grail. Parts one and two of Lancelot cover Lancelots boyhood and his admission to Arthurs court, where he falls immediately in love with Guinevere. The adventures and quests which follow take us to the point where he becomes a companion of the Round Table. For a full description of the Vulgate Cycle see the blurb for the complete set.
