I failed so i came to the real internet
gawain and the green knight will be in any anthology of early of english literature. i have two that have it-norton's and anderson/buckler.
man, gawain is my favourite. once you're done with these, check out the birtwistle opera and ishiguro's buried giant

Sir Gawain was a meme author, and had no discernible talent. He was shitposting, and is literally genre tier fiction. clearly a juvenile author.

What about amadigi de gaula?

I just asked about Gawain, sooo...
Oxford World's Classics have an edition of Gawain and the Green Knight
>>7693901
Only ever heard of Green Knight actually. Are the others similar (and/or good)?

Is this post-invasion /lit/? People will incoherently spout and combine memes regarding something they know literally nothing about?
>>7694786
oh fuck off, stop white knighting a guy who's long dead
Is anybody familiar with the differences between the Penguin, Dover, Norton, and Oxford editions of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight? The amazon reviews arent much help

Still OP, also the Simon Armitage and Michael Morpurgo editions compared and contrasted to these ive already mentioned- if anyone knows
Bumping, would like to hear lits opinion on the best translation.
>>7694166
it's good, but vastly different to the rest of his stuff
not that he's stuck to a particular genre
>>7696498
Broadview is the best edition
>>7698623
The broadview is the best translation and it provides the Middle English parrele
Anybody know?

As a TA, the easy answer would be that they used it as their intro text and are biased towards it. Not that this is actually the case, but still.
Personally I favour Battles' translation for teaching - the Broadview edition is certainly most accessible for students.
If you claim to be a learned Arthurian scholar, then you should already know that 1) alliterative translations are the bestest, and 2) Tolkien has translated it.
>Extra homework: non-alliterative translations by Armitage and Borroff are also well-crafted and lack any serious defects.
Pick one with the Middle English. Doubly obligatory if you pick one that isn't alliterative.
OP here. Ive gone for Tolkien, Borroff, and Winny. Thanks a bunch yall
How is Thomas Hahn's Sir Gawain: Eleven Romances and Tales?
