Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values. Pearl is apparently an elegy on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great personal loss: but, like Gawain it is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters. Sir Orfeo is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkien’s. The three translations represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the originals.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 125mmItem Length: 142mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 140gAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
