‘The introduction to Gawain is a little masterpiece.’
Times Higher Educational Supplement
‘This magnificent Arthurian tale of love, sex, honour, social tact, personal integrity and folk-magic is one of the greatest and most approachable narrative poems in the language. Tolkien’s version makes it come triumphantly alive, a moving and consoling elegy.’

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Three masterpieces of medieval poetry, translated by the author of The Lord of the Ringsincluding Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the poem that inspired the major motion picture The Green Knight Comparable to the works of Chaucer, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo weave a bright tapestry of stories from a remote age of chivalry and wizards, knights and holy questsbut unlike The Canterbury Tales, the name of the poet who wrote them is lost to time. Masterfully translated from the original Middle English by J.R.R. Tolkien, the language of these great poems comes to life for modern readers. At the center of this collection is Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a tale as lush and dark as Englands medieval forests. Mixing romance and adventure, Sir Gawain follows King Arthurs most noble knight on an adventure of epic enchantment, temptation, and destiny. Originally published: London: George Allen & Unwin, 1975.
