Abstract:
This article explores two elements of the historical context surrounding Malory's version of the Grail Quest. I argue that medieval Eucharistic theology and optical theories help modern readers refine their understanding of the objective of the Grail Quest and the varying degrees of success that the Grail knights achieve.
