Amongst the numerous 20th century writers on the Holy Grail, Jessie Weston has probably come closest to an understanding of the spiritual meaning of the quest and also of its possible origins from Mithraism.

Miss Weston wrote an earlier work entitled “The Quest for the Holy Grail” but “From Ritual to Romance” is her definitive account, and was her last word on the subject.

It became her best known work because it is mentioned in the poem by T. S. Eliot “The Waste Lands”.
