About Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
"Ho raȝt hym a riche rynk of red golde werkeȝ,
Wyth a starande ston, stondande alofte."
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a chivalric romance in Middle English, written by an anonymous author in the late 14th-century. A celebrated Arthurian story, it is written in stanzas of alliterative verse, drawing on Welsh, Irish, and English mythology, as well as the French chivalric tradition.
The story describes how Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, accepts a challenge from a mysterious "Green Knight" who dares any knight to strike him with his axe if he will take a return blow in a year and a day. A powerful, enduring literary classic, and an unmissable read.
