A very interesting read, and definitely a product of its time--making it an important source of insight into the culture during that period in the British Isles. While it can seem rather boring and dry, I rather enjoyed the fairy tale aspect of it. I can't wait to see what more people dig out of it in the coming years.

Gawain’s final fate, external victory but internal shame makes this story fascinating.

Required reading for class.

Gawain all of this and you start complaining about women at the end smh the Green Knight should've nicked you again.

 What an absolutely delightful translation. Fun and fresh and it really communicates the appeal of alliterative poetry in a modern register in a truly impressive way.
