Abstract:
In Wolfram von Eschenbach's "Parzival," Herzeloydë prepares her son, Parzival, for his life's work, the search for the Grail. Her effect on his understanding of the two sides of his existence --knighthood and the Grail--produces her importance in the poem. [Reproduced by permission of Garland Publishing.]
