Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A Norton Critical Edition

Written by an anonymous 14th-century poet, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is an epic poem that narrates in crystalline verse the strange tale of a green knight on a green horse, who rudely interrupts the Round Table festivities one Yuletide, casting a pall of unease over the company and challenging one of their number to a wager to unexpected consequences . . .

One of the best-known medieval chivalric romance epics with its plot combining two classic types of folk motifs (the beheading game, and the exchange of winnings), Sir Gawain and the Green Knight remains popular for literary study, as well as modern renderings through stage/film.
