Talk:Perceval, the Story of the Grail
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Chretien's contribution under-represented?
Maybe I'm mistaken, but Le conte du graal may only technically be the first part of the work by Chretien de Troyes, with the rest being just "Continuations of Le conte du graal." A subtle difference perhaps, but this is not like the Roman de la Rose where both parts are considered equal or as a unit by modern scholars. It's certainly the most important and merits much more attention than the various continuations. IMHO, analysis, significance, symbolism, style, interpretation etc. should be sandwiched in between the plot summary of Le conte du graal and the continuations, which should be relegated towards the bottom, perhaps with their own analysis, if needed. Just my opinion as a CdT fanatic.Portia1780 02:29, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disambig note
While working on the Knights Templar article, I found myself frequently running into confusion between Perceval's story of the grail, and Parzival's story of the grail. As such, I think it's reasonable to have a disambiguation note at the top of this page. --Elonka 03:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- I disagree. Disambiguation notes are for when a single title can refer to more than one thing. This title is unambiguous. Further, Parzival is never called Perceval, even in English, and is never referenced with the subtitle "the Story of the Grail". There is already a disambiguation page for other works called Perceval or featuring the character Percival.--Cúchullain t/c 06:18, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
