xii, 331 pp. Drawings by Rainey Bennett. "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight survived from the late fourteenth century in a single manuscript, preserved at the British Museum. It was bound in a volume with three other poems--Pearl, Patience, and Purity; all four works, catalogued as a single poem, seem to have gone unread for over four centuries. ...It is now agreed that Sir Gawain was written in the West Midlands during the third quarter of the fourteenth century; but the identity of the author remains unknown and whether he wrote all four poems remains uncertain."
