### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    My favorite Gawain
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2002*

I have read at least four translations of Gawain, including Tolkein's, and the Brian Stone version is my favorite. It is written in understandable English. As another reviewer has pointed out, Stone's version is most like the medieval one in its structure, its use of alliteration, and the rhyme scheme of the bob and wheel. Tolkein, in an appendix to his version, gives a clear and enlightening explanation of the principles of this kind of poetry. Once you've read Tolkein's explanation, your appreciation of the poem will be greatly enhanced. Nowadays, many poets and others turn up their noses at alliteration, but I love it. So the language is one of the things that make the poem such a pleasure to read.Another thing that makes Gawain a great read is that it is just a darn good story. When a green man riding a green horse and carrying his own green-haired head gallops into Arthur's dining hall, you know there's going to be some drama in this tale. And there is! There's some hunting and killing of animals for the sportsperson and the bloodthirsty. There's romantic temptation, and there's suspense.One reviewer speculated on possible symbolism in the novel. The search for deeper meanings might interest some readers. For me to "get" a symbol, it has to jump out of the book and bite me on the nose.

    A very readable edition
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2022*

The introduction offers a technical explanation of the poetic form used in the original Middle English.  The back of the book has several very good critical essays.  Sandwiched in between is a very readable and enjoyable rendering of the poem itself.  A solid edition all around.

    A King Arthur story
  

*by B***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2013*

King Arthur's stories always seem to appeal - my college son said he liked it and that it helped to have the Cliffs Notes since the story is poem or in poem format . . . think Shakespeare.
