Descripción
SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT
Simon Armitage's rendition of the medieval poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" offers an engaging and accessible translation. The work, originally composed by an anonymous poet, is preserved on a single surviving manuscript from around 1400 and was first published in 1839 after being rediscovered two centuries ago. As one of the earliest significant narratives of English literature following Beowulf, the poem recounts the peculiar story of a green knight on a green horse who disrupts the Round Table celebrations during Yuletide. This intrusion sets a tense atmosphere as the knight challenges a member of the group to a bold wager. The honorable Gawain accepts and beheads the knight with his own axe. To everyone's astonishment, the knight picks up his head, instructs Gawain to seek him out in a year, and then leaves. The following Yuletide, Gawain loyally embarks on his quest. His search for the Green Knight leads him through a winter journey, a seductive encounter within a castle that seems like a dream, and a formidable challenge met, culminating in a conclusion that offers a mysterious reward that appears as a psychological unraveling.
