The Quest for the Grail: A Thousand Years of Vessels and Visions with Cultural Historian Jason Lahman, Begins November 1
"In this five-week course, we will trace the Grail through mythology, medieval literature, crusading culture, mysticism, alchemy, Romanticism, Jungian psychology, archaeology, conspiracy theory, fantasy literature, and film. Along the way we will encounter wounded kings, wandering knights, ruined chapels, other-worldly queens, Templars, alchemists, Wagnerian mystics, Symbolist artists, fascist occultists, and modern seekers pursuing transcendence through archetype. Rather than asking whether the Grail was objectively “real,” we will explore why it became one of the most enduring symbolic and visionary objects in European culture. The Grail continues to possess the imagination and act as a tool for puzzling out how the ineffable takes on form and calls out to human beings to be sought, found and held."
