| Résumé: | In 1938, Julien Gracq wrote Au château d'Argol, a novel that had the theme of Perceval and the Grail running through it like a seam of ore. Despite Gracq's own lack of faith, he cleverly used the Grail's Christian connotations for their power and mystery. Two years later, in 1940, in his play Le roi pêcheur, he felt compelled to purge that same theme of every Christian implication. This article undertakes to explain the role of the second World War and the Vichy administration in that artistic decision. |
