This, the final chapter of this analysis, should, as we now know all ‘satisfactory ends’ must, refer back to the aims of the investigation as they were set out in the Introduction, and assess how far they have been achieved. The preceding chapters have constituted a journey through four texts, whose construction is extremely complex, with the aim that readers of those texts might better understand the ramifications of the one term that is applicable to all four: Continuation. The texts themselves had been relatively unexplored in comparison with other contemporary Grail texts, and thus the intention of this analysis was twofold. First and foremost, its aim was to understand the mechanics of medieval Continuation as it was understood in the Middle Ages, using the Continuations of the Old French Perceval as a lens. Secondly, it sought to undertake further scholarly investigation and appreciation of these much unexplored texts to add to the slowly growing corpus of critical analysis, the most significant recent additions being, of course, Bruckner's Chrétien Continued and Hinton's The Conte du Graal Cycle. Taking the second point first, more light has been shed on the poetics and mechanics of the Continuations themselves. Further, they have been analysed in depth alongside each other, making this one of only three full-length works to do so since Wrede's in 1952 (the other two being Bruckner and Hinton's respective studies).
