Description

One of the earliest great stories of English literature afterBeowulf,Sir Gawainis the strange tale of a green knight on a green horse, who rudely interrupts King Arthur's Round Table festivities one Yuletide, challenging the knights to a wager. Simon Armitrage, one of Britain's leading poets, has produced an inventive and groundbreaking translation that "[helps] liberateGawainfrom academia" (Sunday Telegraph).
