Description

Sir Gawain and the Green KnightandPearlare two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400.Sir Gawainis a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values.Pearlis apparently an elegy on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great personal loss: but, likeGawainit is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters.Sir Orfeois a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkien's. The three translations represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the originals.The three translations represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the originals, and are uniquely accompanied with the complete text of Tolkien's acclaimed 1953 W.P. Ker Memorial Lecture that he delivered on Sir Gawain.
