Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
- Sir Gawain and the Green Knight By Armitage Simon
"Compulsively readable. ... Simon Armitage has given us an energetic, free-flowing, high-spirited version."â€•Edward Hirsch, New York Times Book Review
One of the earliest great stories of English literature after ?Beowulf?, ?Sir Gawain? is 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] liberate ?Gawain ?from academia" (?Sunday Telegraph?). 2 illustrations
