Fragments of the Arthurian legends which are presented for the sake of the psychological problem involved rather than for their historic and picturesque value as poetic material or for the sake of their glamour and romance.

“An inestimable service has been rendered to the memory of Richard Hovey by the publication of ‘The holy graal and other fragments’ of the uncompleted Arthurian dramas; not so much by virtue of the new material which they contain for this is slight, as for the illumination thrown upon the whole scheme of the projected cycle by the introduction and notes of Mrs. Hovey.” Jessie B. Rittenhouse.
