Jessie Laidlay Weston was an English independent scholar, medievalist and folklorist, working mainly on mediaeval Arthurian texts.

This landmark of anthropological and mythological scholarship explores the Grail legend, uniting its folkloric and Christian elements by using printed texts to prove the parallels existing between every feature of the legend of the Holy Grail and the recorded symbolism of ancient Mystery cults. A major source for Eliot's The Waste Land .

From Ritual to Romance is a landmark of anthropological and mythological scholarship that examines the roots of the King Arthur legends, exploring the connections between early pagan elements and later Christian influences. Its revolutionary theory holds that the basic elements of the Grail story are remnants of ancient fertility rites designed to heal the “broken land.”

Poet T. S. Eliot acknowledged the book as crucial to understanding his poem The Waste Land , “Not only the title, but the plan and a good deal of the incidental symbolism of the poem were suggested by Miss Jessie L. Weston's book on the Grail From Ritual to Romance . . . Indeed, so deeply am I indebted, Miss Weston's book will elucidate the difficulties of the poem much better than my notes can do; and I recommend it to any who think such elucidation of the poem worth the trouble.”
