A masterpiece of chivalrous and Christian propaganda until the sexism near the end puts a damper. Didn't know I was such a Germanic poet myself until I read all this alliteration.

Too human to be aspirational and too forgiving to be a warning, Gawain and the Green Knight perches in the grey area in-between. Gawain's faith and chivalric code are tested against the strange wilderness, and stranger inhabitants, of the Middle Age British Isles with varied results. The ground beneath his feet is ever uncertain, and that, coupled with the looming threat of his date at the Green Chapel, foster a wonderfully murky sense of adventure.
Pairs well with the recent film starring Dev Patel for atmosphere, but is quite its own creature.
Also, Bercilak poly king.
