AB - BROTHERS AND COUSINS IN THE GERMAN PROSE LANCELOT ALTHOUG H the three constituent romances (Lancelot proper, Gral-Queste, Tod des Kb'nig Artus) of the Prose Lancelot (c. 1215-1230),' are so very different in content, tone and spirit, they are nonetheless interdependent and undoubtedly best understood when read together. Research into the structural organisation of the Prose Lancelot began with the vexed question of the authorship of the Trilogy. Opinion has ranged from regarding the Prose Lancelot as a number of disparate parts welded together by interpolators and redactors to seeing it as the work of one man. Jean Frappier's "architect" theory (i.e. that there was one individual who planned the entire Prose Lancelot, wrote part of it and directed others in the composition of it) has been the most widely accepted. During the last twenty years there has been less interest in the authorship of the Prose Lancelot than in how the structural unity of the work has been achieved. Ferdinand Lot's recognition of the "principe d'entrelacement" and the "procede du chronologique" as the two fundamental narrative techniques employed in the Prose Lancelot had laid the foundations upon which subsequent research into the structural organisation of the Trilogy has built.
