article

2003

article
Gowans, Linda, “The Eachtra an Amadáin Mhóir as a response to the Perceval of Chrétien de Troyes”, Arthurian Literature 19 (2003): 199–230.  
abstract:

Probably the least studied of the group of texts ultimately indebted to Chrétien de Troyes' Perceval is an Irish prose tale, Eachtra an Amadáin Mhóir (The Story of the Great Fool). The Arthurian content of its opening section has undoubted links to the work of Chrétien, and in this article I hope to demonstrate that the overall relationship of the two stories is closer than may previously have been appreciated; also that the perceptive and witty response of the Irish work to its celebrated predecessor well repays careful attention.
