TWO TALES OF SIR GAWAIN: The Wedding of Sir Gawain -- The Turk and Sir Gawain - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The Wedding of Sir Gawain is known only in a single, hastily and ill-written 16th century manuscript. It has been edited by many scholars; their efforts have given us a text that probably cannot be bettered. I have used the transcription made by Frederic Madden in 1839. Although the story has been retold in prose many times, this is the first modern English rendering, keeping the original cadence and rhyme scheme.

The Turk and Sir Gawain is known only a damaged manuscript. It has also been edited by many able scholars to give us the best text. I have again used Frederic Madden's 1839 transcription for this first modern English rendering, also keeping the cadence and verse as much as possible.
