Uncouth Innocence: Some Links Between Chrétien de Troyes, Wolfram von Eschenbach and J.R.R. Tolkien
Abstract
Sees a subtle but pervasive similarity between von Eschenbach and Tolkien in “tone and central philosophies.” Sees “the whole medieval treatment of the Percival/Parzival theme” as “a general source for the various aspects of the hobbit character.” Also sees structural parallels between Chrétien de Troyes, von Eschenbach, and Lord of the Rings.
