Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

  • Summary

  • We're back with the second episode of Dave's Guide to English Literature! This time, we explore the incredible poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, a work written in a language we now know as Middle English. With its sensational opening scene, compelling narrative and technical virtuosity, this work really is a delight, and its hero's quest begins on All Saints' Day, so we're examining it at the right time of year... To find out our thoughts about the poem's meaning, the devices it uses and whether or not modern translations do it justice, listen to episode two now. We hope you like it and, if you have any questions or comments, we would love to hear from you!
