{"product_id":"sir-gawain-and-the-green-knight-9","title":"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight","description":"This anthology of medieval writing provides a context for a deeper understanding of the Gawain-poet's originality and skill.\n\nThe intertextuality of this brilliant poem can be more fully understood through Elisabeth Brewer's presentation of modern English versions of themes familiar from Gawain and the Green Knight -beheading, seduction and othertraditional material - from a range of medieval writings. Her book is a delightful and unusual small anthology of medieval literature; but its greatest success lies in providing a context for a fuller understanding of Sir Gawain, through its presentation of extracts and poems (including translation from Celtic and French originals) illustrating the tradition in which the Gawain-poet wrote, underscoring his own great achievement. It is both anintroduction to the poem and a useful tool for critical comparison. First published in 1975 as From Cuchulainn to Gawain.ELISABETH BREWERlectured in English at Homerton College, Cambridge.","brand":"Boydell \u0026 Brewer Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Product","offer_id":54217317876056,"sku":"9780859913591","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780859913591__676ec9f011925.jpg?v=1741156998","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/sir-gawain-and-the-green-knight-9","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
