On PEREDUR...

Hi Cagwinn,

I was just looking over your edits of the Perceval page, and as I'd rather not get into any misunderstandings, I would like to ask you some questions about PEREDUR. As far as I know, there are two reasonable positions about the tale: One is that it was based off a body of Celtic materials also used by Chretien, the other that it was based off Chretien's romance and the continuations themselves. While you might hold a different opinion, the scholarly consensus suggests otherwise.

My personal opinion is that, due to the parallels in wording between it and Chretien's story, the third part of the tale, beginning immediately after Peredur is with the empress, is an amalgam based on Chretien, the continuations, and tradition. The parts before that are so radically divergent from Chretien's story that they seem to be taken from traditional sources. I am not pretending to be an expert -- this is an imperfect opinion based on the few materials I've read. Phi (talk) 10:26, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
