Good. First edition. Upper hinge loose, endpapers and some pages with a faint tideline, foredge has a small spot, corners bumped and worn, good only. A retelling of part of the King Arthur myth.
Galahad may have gotten the title, but Guinevere is the prime mover in this very satisfactory tale of Camelot. No literary scholar I to explain the American interest in telling these tales during and after The Great War. E. A. Robinson was at it in verse and Erskine in prose. Perhaps it was the sense of futility brought on by the War, or the problem of the place of women in the home, the workforce, or at the ballot box. The question Erskine ponders here is how do women move men and is the race, in the broadest sense, better for it. Nothing here is new. Arthur and Guinevere are estranged; Lancelot is her lover and champion. He meets Elaine, and something less than a comedy of errors, produces Galahad. Galahad become estranged from his father. The genius of the book is Erskine's explanation for all these familiar events which takes us back to essential nature of man and woman which so intrigued the author that he emptied the closet of history searching for the answer. Like so much of the literature of the twenties, the reflection is unhurried, and thoroughly sane, one is tempted to say, quaint. In these times it provides a tonic. Renew your acquaintance with these well known friends and find something old, something new.
