Elaine Of Astolat
Elaine of Astolat (), also known as Elayne of Ascolat and other variants of the name, is a figure in Arthurian legend. She is a lady from the castle of Astolat who dies of her unrequited love for Sir Lancelot. Well-known versions of her story appear in Sir Thomas Malory's 1485 book ''Le Morte d'Arthur'', Alfred, Lord Tennyson's mid-19th-century ''Idylls of the King'', and Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott". She should not be confused with Elaine of Corbenic, the mother of Galahad by Lancelot. Legend The possible original version of the story appeared in the early 13th-century French prose romance ''Mort Artu'', in which the Lady of Escalot (''Demoiselle d'Escalot'') dies of unrequited love for Lancelot and drifts down a river to Camelot in a boat. In the 14th-century English poem Stanzaic ''Morte Arthur'', she is known as the Maid of Ascolot. Thomas Malory's 15th-century compilation of Arthurian tales, ''Le Morte d'Arthur'', include the story. Another version is told in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Jimmy Joe, 1999. is a character from Arthurian legend. In the Arthurian chivalric romance tradition, she is the daughter of the Fisher King, King Pelles of Corbenic (''Corbenek'', ''Corbin'', etc.), and the mother of Galahad from her rape of Lancelot.

Elaine (short Story)
"Elaine" (1945) is an early short story published by J. D. Salinger in ''Story''. In it, the title character lives with her mom and grandmother in the Bronx. She is a beautiful young girl unaware of the miasma of the city around her. One reason for this is that she is intellectually years behind her peers, graduating from eighth grade at 16 after being "tested" at age 7 and forced to stay back two grades. Salinger writes that she is one of only two students wearing lipstick at the graduation ceremony. Elaine and her mother spend the bulk of their time together watching movies at the local cinema—this seems to be the world both of them escape to. They find a "fourth-rate picture exceptionally engrossing" while watching it with the super of their building. At this point in the story Elaine is introduced to sexuality when the older man touches her leg during the movie. She does not recognize this as an inappropriate gesture and doesn't tell her mom about it. Later, she meets an ush ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
