Description de l'ouvrage :
From the Arthurian epic poem Parzival to Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and the Assassin’s Creed video game series, the Knights Templar have captivated artists and audiences alike for centuries. In modern times, the Templars have featured in many narrative contexts, evolving in a range of contrasting story roles: the grail guardian, the heroic knight, the villainous knight, and the keeper of conspiracies. This study explores why these gone but not forgotten warrior monks remain prominent in popular culture; how history influenced the myth; and how the myth has influenced literature, film and video games.
