Poëzie & Drama
A mysterious knight all in green arrives at King Arthur’s court and issues a bizarre challenge. Gawain answers the knight – but at what cost? This new translation keeps all the poetic power of the original’s extraordinary alliteration. In doing so it brings the saga vividly to life, and in a manner that demands to be heard. One of the greatest stories of English literature from any period, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a magical medieval combination of the epic and the uncanny. A new verse translation by Benedict Flynn.

As someone who is very familiar with the Middle English version, I recommend this translation and reading. Even if it’s not a 100% accurate translation, it is an absolute joy to listen to if you want to acquaint yourself with the poem.
