It was interesting to read Tolkien‘s translations of these three medieval poems, but it‘s been a long time since my medieval literature classes in college, and that area of my reading skills is a bit rusty! I enjoyed the narrative of Sir Gawain (especially with my recent read of Once & Future King) and Sir Orfeo, but found Pearl a bit more of a slog. Overall it was fascinating to read a different side of Tolkien‘s work. May #DoubleSpin complete!
