The Gawain Poet

Part of the Writers and their work series
See all formats and editions

This book treats separately all four poems: Pearl, Cleanness, Patience and Sir Gawain.

There are also chapters on: the history of the poems and their rediscovery; alliterative verse; and what little is known about the author.

The main emphasis falls on interpretation, and on such explanations as a modern reader may require.

All quotations cited from the poems are translated as well.
