'An extremely impressive work which no one working on the grail will be able to ignore and which offers a wealth of source material to other scholars, for which they will be extremely grateful', Peter Noble, MLR.

‘[This] book should be required reading for everyone working on the Grail theme in the Lancelot-Grail cycle', Elspeth Kennedy, Medium Aevum.

‘This is an impressive book. D’Arcy’s deep familiarity and knowledge of her subject is evident; she draws on the fields of religious studies, medieval romance, and art history in making her argument, and Wisdom and the Grail is almost encyclopaedic in its scope', Dorsey Armstrong, Arthuriana.

‘Compelling in its wealth of associations …’, Kristen Figg, Speculum.
