Autorenporträt
Jessie Laidlay Weston (1850-1928) was an independent scholar, folklorist, and authority on Arthurian legends, whose work contributed significantly to the study of medieval literature. Her focus on grail and romance literature translated into a series of notable contributions to the field, one of which includes 'Sir Gawain and the Lady of Lys', a study and edition of the Arthurian tale. A self-taught polyglot, Weston's area of expertise covered a range of European languages that allowed her to access and interpret source material directly. Her literary style was characterized by a combination of rigorous scholarship and a passionate interest in her subject matter, which is evident in her detailed analysis and commentary on the text of 'Sir Gawain and the Lady of Lys'. Weston's broader work included 'From Ritual to Romance', where she posited an influential theory connecting the Holy Grail myth to ancient fertility rites, a text that later influenced T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land'. Her scholarly approach was rooted in comparing literature with folklore, myth, and religion, thereby bringing a multi-disciplinary perspective to the study of medieval romances. Though some of her theories have since been contested, her scholarship remains an essential part of the discourse on Arthurian literature. Weston was granted honorary degrees for her work, and her legacy as a pioneering woman in the field of medieval studies endures.
