Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (Neilson Translation)

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a late 14th-century Middle English alliterative romance attributed to the Gawain Poet. The narrative follows Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, who accepts a challenge from a mysterious green warrior. After beheading the Green Knight, Gawain must honor his promise to receive a return blow a year later, leading to a journey that tests his chivalry and loyalty. This translation by W.A. Neilson brings a modern touch to this classic tale of honor and adventure.
