The counter-Arthurian piracy of Jack Spicer’s Holy Grail
Abstract This Noted document brings to scholarly attention the existence of a 1969 pirate edition of Jack Spicer’s Holy Grail . It explores archaising book production choices in the first, authorised edition of The Holy Grail . It then describes the pirated edition, showing how the pirates reflected and reinforced the medievalising aspects of Spicer’s original text.
