Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Author(s): Bernard O'Donoghue
Composed during the fourteenth century in the English Midlands, this work describes the events that follow when a mysterious green-coloured knight rides into King Arthur's Camelot in deep mid-winter. Blending Celtic myth and Christian faith, it is among the Middle English poems: a tale of magic, chivalry and seduction.
