Twentieth Century Interpretations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Twentieth Century Interpretations of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Larry D. Benson
3/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In this book, Denton Fox presents selected essays on “the greatest of the Middle English romances”—Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Scholars have long praised its brilliance and gaiety, but in recent years, the editor notes, it has become clearer that the author is dealing with profoundly important questions when he shows Gawain alone, in a baffling and inhuman world, drawn between the demands of the perfect truth to which he has pledged himself and his own mortal imperfection.
The distinguished critics in this volume demonstrate the variety of modern approaches to the poem, and to medieval literature in general.
