Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 'The finest translation in and for our time' (Kevin Crossley-Holland) Sir Gawain and The Green Knight, with its intricate plot of enchantment and betrayal is probably the most skilfully told story in the whole of the English Arthurian cycle. Originating from the north-west midlands of England, it is based on two separate and very ancient Celtic motifs of the Beheading and the Exchange of Winnings, brought together by the anonymous 14th century poet. His telling comprehends a great variety of moods and modes - from the stark realism of the hunt-scenes to the delicious and dangerous bedroom encounters between Lady Bercilak and Gawain, from moments of pure lyric beauty when he evokes the English countryside in all its seasons, to authorial asides that are full of irony and puckish humour. This new verse translation uses a modern alliterative pattern which subtly echoes the music of the original at the same time as it strives for fidelity.

Condition: Very good. - A partial sheet of the author's letterhead, approximately 3-1/2 inches high by 5-1/4 inches wide with his address printed in raised lettering at the top, is signed in black ink "Warwick Deeping". The letterhead is slightly unevenly cut with remnants of tape on he verso where it has been removed from an album. Very good. Warwick Deeping [1877-1950] was an English novelist and short-story writer whose best-known novel was "Sorrell and Son" [1925]. After serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I, Deeping gave up his job as a doctor to become a full-time writer. His early work was dominated by historical romances. His later novels more often dealt with modern life and were critical of many tendencies of twentieth century civilization. His attitude was generally one of passionate individualism, distrustful of both ruling elites and the lower classes who were often presented as a threat to his embattled middle-class protagonists. He was one of the best-selling authors of the 1920s and 1930s.
