One of the best-known Arthurian stories—adapted many times into verse, prose, games, and film. It recounts an adventure undertaken by King Arthur’s famous nephew, Sir Gawain, who is brave and the model of knightly grace. When a mysterious knight in green armor issues a challenge to the Round Table, the gallant Gawain volunteers to do battle for his king, beginning an adventure that explores chivalric tradition, loyalty, and the virtue of forgiveness, as well as alchemical symbolism and the psychological process of individuation.

Jessie Weston’s translation was a little hard to follow. It used archaic language typical of 19th and early 20th century fairy tales and fantasy, but it made sense for this one considering the subject matter. The language does make for some really flowery and poetic language, though, as befits the nature of the story being a poem, so that was good! The narrator, Matthew Schmitz, was absolutely phenomenal. They really brought the story to life even when I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on.
