Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (A New Verse Translation)
Compulsively readable. ... Simon Armitage has given us an energetic, free-flowing, high-spirited version.—Edward Hirsch, New York Times Book ReviewOne 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?).
