Keith Harrison
Sir Gawain and The Green Knight is probably the most skilfully told story in the whole of the English Arthurian cycle. Acclaimed poet Keith Harrison's verse translation uses a modern alliterative pattern which subtly echoes the music of the original at the same time as it strives for fidelity. This is the most generously annotated edition available, complete with a detailed introduction situating the work in the context of Arthurian Romance.
