Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (The Norton Library)

Wondrous . Highly recommended!

"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight", first written in the late fourteenth century by an unknown poet, has since become a staple of English A-level reading and indeed English literature in general. Now, acclaimed poet Simon Armitage gives us this interesting translation of the tale. It converts the Middle English language of the original into modern-day speech while also preserving the quality of the alliterative verse. It has helped me quite well during my studies- in fact, it was the required text- and I look forward to further readings of it.
