`Provides an excellent one-volume guide to the works of the
anonymous Gawain-poet.' CHOICE The essays collected here on the
Gawain-Poet offer stimulating introductions to Sir Gawain and the
Green Knight, Pearl, Cleanness and Patience, providing both
information and original analysis. Topics includetheories of
authorship; the historical and social background to the poems, with
individual sections on particularly important features within them;
gender roles in the poems; the manuscript itself; the metre,
vocabulary and dialect of the poems; and their sources. A section
devoted to Sir Gawain investigates the ideas of courtesy and
chivalry found within it, and explores some of its later
adaptations from the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries. Afull
bibliography completes the volume. The late DEREK BREWER was
Emeritus Professor of English Literature, University of Cambridge;
JONATHAN GIBSON has worked as a lecturer in the Universities of
Exeter and Durham.
