Описание: A collection of three medieval English poems translated by Tolkien for the modern-day reader and edited by his son, Christopher Tolkien, containing romance, tragedy, love, sex, and honor, with exclusive features.
Описание: Poetry. SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT by the anonymous Gawain-Poet (or Pearl-Poet) is, like Beowulf, one of the greatest classics of English literature. Hailed as the finest Arthurian romance, this technically brilliant tale of enchantment, faith, temptation, and chivalry is tautly constructed, with a wonderfully rich vocabulary and vivid language that blends sophisticated atmosphere with psychological depth. John Ridland's new Modern English translation, unlike most presentations, is complete, covering every passage and word of the Middle English, Northwest Midland dialect original with the same line numbering, contents and meaning. His is the only version written in a familiar modern meter--pleasurable to modern ears, yet retaining the spirit of repetition and alliteration of the medieval original. And Dr. Ridland's introduction and notes are enlightening. This translation is a must-have for unlocking all the pleasures and delights of the original classic.
With his loving rendition of a great classic into vigorous metrical lines, John Ridland has given SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT a fresh lease on life. I've seen several other versions of this masterpiece, but none so engagingly readable as Ridland's. His preface, too, is useful and illuminating. Here is a book to enjoy right now and to cherish forever.--X.J. Kennedy
John Ridland gives us a recognizably English GAWAIN, and a very pleasurable one at that. The language is ours. It is slightly elevated, as befits a work so finely crafted, but only enough to demand our attention. Originally written in the same alliterative verse as Beowulf, SIR GAWAIN AND THE GREEN KNIGHT was archaic in its own day; now, over six-hundred years later, alliterative verse can be as inaccessible as the pentatonic harp tunes that apparently accompanied it. Ridland gives the poem a long, loose line that sings in the lyrical passages, creeps in the spooky ones, and cavorts in the comic ones. Just as important, the densely mythic ethos, fully intact, enriches every word.--Richard Wakefield
Panoramas of banqueting and hunting, closely observed rituals of dressing, arming, and game preparation, and rich descriptions of landscape and weather--Ridland's translation presents these in all their delightful, over-the-top particularity.--Maryann Corbett
The language in which the consummate poet and translator John Ridland serves up this delicious story in verse is exactly what it deserves. The descriptions are exuberant, the narrative flows and exhilarates like the wine at the courts we're asked to imagine, and the exchanges between complex characters so subtly flavored by intelligent diplomacy that it makes the dialogue of much current fiction seem, by contrast, like a six-pack on the front stoop. Read this book. I suspect that, like all enchantments, it shifts and assumes different forms to different eyes. But I do guarantee surprises, and inexhaustible delight.--Rhina P. Espaillat

Описание: Composed during the fourteenth century in the English Midlands, this work describes the events that follow when a mysterious green-coloured knight rides into King Arthur`s Camelot in deep mid-winter. Blending Celtic myth and Christian faith, it is among the Middle English poems: a tale of magic, chivalry and seduction.

Описание:
Join Sir Gawain on his journey to seek the green chapel and battle the green knight who dwells there. Accepting the challenge of a Christmas game on behalf of his uncle, King Arthur, the young knight, Sir Gawain, leaves his home of Camelot and travels afar, finding board at a stately castle. Received by a hospitable Host, Sir Gawain finds refuge along with many tests and challenges along the way. His final challenge awaits at the green chapel, where he is to receive a deathly blow of the ax from the green knight. The greatest challenge of all is young Sir Gawain staying honest to himself.
Jane England received an F in the children's literature course. The only failing grade of her entire academic career was on a mid-term paper she wrote about the anonymous fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight." Her professor at the time disagreed that the well-studied piece of British literature was also a work of children's literature.
Many great works of children's literature demonstrate Joseph Campbell's thesis of the mythical journey of the hero depicting the psychological and spiritual maturation necessary for human existence. "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" satisfies all the elements of Joseph Campbell's thesis of the hero's journey: the call to adventure, supernatural aid, crossing the threshold from the known to the unknown, beginning of transformation, aid from a helper, challenges and temptations, the revelation and the abyss, rebirth and transformation, atonement, and return to the known.
Albeit, the anonymous fourteenth-century poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" as written did not lend itself easily to be read by children. Ultimately the mutually agreed upon decision was to rewrite a portion of the fourteenth-century work into the text of children's literature following the structure of the hero's journey and proving that the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight can be children's literature. Challenge accepted.
On and off for many years beyond college, Jane continued rewriting the entire poem into a simplified form to appeal to children.
