I‘m sorry Gawain poet, I didn‘t totally get along with your Arthurian poetic epic, and your pagan green knight in his games with the temptation of your hero. I tried to read your original language, and appreciate your alliteration (and rhyme). Alas, I prefer the French Lais, and, dare I say, your contemporary, Chaucer, and his joy of life collection. Please forgive.

ShelleyBooksie Gorgeous kitty! 4mo
dabbe Excellent review. And 🖤🐾🖤! 4mo
muscogulus The original English is tough — much harder than Chaucer. Huge fan myself. But I might not have been if I‘d tried to read the original on my first go. I think it has to be approached in a good translation. 3mo
Graywacke @muscogulus thanks. I appreciate this comment a lot. I really wanted the sounds, which i doubt any translation can do justice to. But it was probably too much for me up front. 3mo

Well, that might be an odd quote from introduction, but i was stunned reading the one line out loud and seeing the alliteration that i completely missed reading silently. So it stuck.

Anyway, i started this today and just read Amitage‘s introduction and kind of fell in compositional love. It‘s a quietly perfect and beautiful and an enlightening introduction to the poem and to all poetry in translation.

dabbe Probably the best alliterative poem every written (IMHO). 5mo
Graywacke @dabbe !! I‘m very excited to actually read it. 5mo
dabbe @Graywacke It was an absolute joy teaching it to my sophomore honors students. 🤩 5mo
vivastory Def a favorite (esp in this translation) 5mo

That is greenest when groves are bare,
And an axe in his other,
A huge and prodigious one,
A weapon merciless almost beyond description."

We had an afternoon in Liverpool today, so I naturally popped into News From Nowhere, and popped out with this GN adaptation of the classic poem. The story is told in Reppion's modern alliterative rhyming couplets, which work well. At first I found Penman's art style a bit too cartoony in places, but it quickly grew on me, and actually I think it's a striking interpretation. The colouring is fantastic, the black inks being splashed with vivid ⬇️

Bookwomble ... red and green. It's a pleasing addition to my Arthurian collection 💚❤️💚
I did wonder how comics megastar Alan Moore came to write the introduction to a self-published book, and it turns out he's Reppion's father-in-law. Both the introduction and Reppion's afterword are of interest, short as they are. ⬇️

Bookwomble ... And, to round it off, ambient synthband Hawthonn have a Bandcamp EP of four atmospheric tracks specially written to provide a soundtrack for the book. Sweet find 😊📗

Listened to the audiobook narrated by Simon Armitage. Great narrative of a young knight of King Arthur's court, Sir Gawain as he volunteers to challenge the green knight and the ensuing quest and adventures.

dabbe This story was always the precursor to a whole unit on the Arthurian legends with my freshmen honors students. One of the best quest stories ever written (IMHO).😊 2y

marleed Oh I requested this audiobook through my library and they purchased it. I loved it. At the time my new little grandson (now 2) was just named Gavan which derives from Gawain. I thought it would be fun to know the story so i could orally tell it to him. I haven‘t yet - to date he falls asleep to my long-time memorized reciting of The Owl and the Pussycat! 2y

bibliothecarivs @AllDebooks are you going to watch the recent Dev Patel version? Have you seen it yet? If not, I'll pass along some advice - don't expect it to follow the poem too closely. I did, and I was disappointed upon first viewing. But after some time and consideration and several more viewings, it has grown on me a lot and is now in my top 10 films of all time. 2y
AllDebooks @bibliothecarivs yes, that's the film I want to see. I'm going in with an open mind. Thanks for the tip 😊 2y

bibliothecarivs I was very excited to find Tolkien's translation at a charity shop a couple weeks ago. Who's the translator of the edition you're reading? 2y
Bookwomble @bibliothecarivs It's Ernest J. B. Kirtlan, about whom I know nothing, other than that his Gawain was published in 1912 (which is the edition I have), and his Beowulf the year after by the same publisher, so probably a uniform edition, though I've not been able to track it down 🔎 2y

Written around 1400,this is definitely the oldest book that I have read this year. It is a poem that describes a quest that Sir Gawain of King Arthur‘s Round table accepts at a Christmas celebration. An emerald skinned giant dressed in green enters the castle and makes a strange request. Violent hunting scenes did disturb me. A mystery. An adventure.Part romance.Part morality tale of the time with some added magic.

I have had this on my shelf for decades!😅 I bought it in university but never got around to reading it. Glad I finally did! If you enjoy Arthurian legends and tales of knights, this one‘s for you. And if you get a little lost like I did at times, Wikipedia will set you back on the right path. 😁3/5⭐️

PurpleyPumpkin @TheRiehlDeal I'm just finding out about all the adaptations of this story! Had no idea, until you mentioned it which inspired me to do another search, that the most recent was the movie released on July 30th with Dev Patel. Is that the one you saw? 3y

'sir Gawayn & þe grene knyȝt' from north-west England in the late 1300s has a fantastic plot and composition. This edition (Penguin Classics) has a great translation and essays by Brian Stone. I read much of it out-loud and would love to hear it performed (oh, to have witnessed the 1971 play at Newcastle!). ⬇️

bibliothecarivs The only sour note came near the end when Gawain blamed all his troubles on women. (We can both acknowledge the culture that produced this attitude and criticise it as sexist and wrong.) I can't wait to read Armitage's translation during christ-tide. (edited) 3y
breadnroses I just saw the movie last night! I enjoyed it 🤠 3y

The audiobook is only 5+ hours long and, halfway through the story is over— So what is taking up the other half?
It turns out it‘s a reading of the poem in the original Early Middle English (“Chaucer‘s English”)! Even though I couldn‘t understand most of it (a handful of words here and there), knowing the story helped a lot. The original has a cadence of its own and is performed lyrically and beautifully by the narrator, Bill Wallis. #AllTheStars

Also translated from Early Middle English (“Chaucer‘s English”) is this anonymous story about chivalry and honor: Sir Gawain steps up and accepts a challenge thrown down by the Green Knight and, well it doesn‘t turn out like anything you would expect! I‘m really enjoying the translator‘s preserving the alliterative nature of the work as well as the lyrical quality. Beautifully done and the narrator serves it all equally well. 🎧

SamAnne I read this in a Goodreads group and really enjoyed it. 4y
marleed Oh, I made a request this year for my library to purchase and they followed through! My new little grandson‘s name is a derivative of Gawain so I thought it would be fun if I could tell him the story in years to come. 4y

My 3-month-old grandson‘s name is rooted from the Welsh name Gawain and the Arthurian legend so I thought it incumbent upon me to learn this tale. I‘ll regale Gavan a g-rated version where the horse, Gringolet, shares a starring role. . ...And this translation may contain my favorite description of an elderly woman - she was ‘altered by age‘ -lol!

I read this with my son for school, and I‘ve read it in previous years with my daughters #homeschool

It‘s good, but I didn‘t love it like I have some of the other hero tales we‘ve studied. There is a lot here in the way of moral character and flaws and humility, and I like all of the symbolism with the Christian faith. But this one just doesn‘t make me as excited as Beowulf or Chaucer‘s Tales 🤷🏻‍♀️

Preserved on a single surviving manuscript dating around 1400,Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was rediscovered only 200 years ago and published for the first time in 1839. One of the earliest great stories of English literature, the poem narrates the strange tale of a green knight on a green horse who rudely interrupts the Round Table festivities one Yuletide, casting a pall of unease over the company and challenging one of their number to a wager

Did anyone hear about this movie!!!!! It‘s based on the Arthurian poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight! I am so excited for this. I love every thing about the Arthurian Legends and Sir Gawain has always been one of my favorites. I am so excited to see a producer reach outside the safety of The Sword in the Stone story. We all know that story. I hope this does extremely well and inspires other Arthurian legends to be made into movies!!

On Monday, I was presenting at a Graduate conference organized by my university. My presentation adressed the reversal of gender norms through seduction in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. SGGK is one of my favorite piece of literature from the Middle Ages. Lady Bertilak woos like the most courtly of knights. Seduction empowers her, and it is delightful to read.

I saw this dragon at a gem show just a couple months ago. Covered in crystals, the dragon certainly appealed to everyone's vanity. Dragons never die, but are simply awakened as each era's doppelgänger. While I first think of old tales of chivalry I can't help to think of "Puff" and what he meant to my generation when I was a smoking teen. And didn't Anthony Weiner awaken a new sleeping dragon of sexual addiction?! #herebedragons
