Bibliographical note
Funding Information:This is the transcendental component of the story. The hero of the initiation quest is under the influence of a stronger and deeper power stemming from the attraction of the masculine element and the feminine, which is supposed to bring about the connection between the two. This force is part of the fairy’s unearthly nature and was inherited by her rationalized embodiment in the lady. This transition is supported by geography. Eliduc goes in search of a land at war. He recognizes Exeter, England, as the land suffering the most as a result of war, and he offers the king his warrior services in the hope of gaining renown. Sahar undergoes a lethal storm at sea and is washed up on the shores of the city of Tsova. Thus, Exeter and Tsova, the places across the sea, essentially serve as substitutes for the unnamed lands portrayed in those stories more deeply rooted in the Celtic tradition, as in Guigemar.
