NOTES

*The classic tale that inspired the A24-movie The Green Knight starring Dev Patel!* Sir Gawain and the Green Knight stands as one of the earliest literary memories of Medieval England, King Arthur and his Round Table, the mythical Camelot, and those knights who called it home. In this classic tale of chivalry and adventure, a mysterious figure interrupts a New Year's Eve celebration. Dressed all in green, he challenges King Arthur to a dangerous duel, but it is Gawain, the least of them, who is brave enough to accept the challenge on Arthur's behalf. What follows is the young knight's journey into the heart of darkness as he tries to survive the impossible. Intended for students, academics, and fans of the Knights of the Round Table mythos, no treatment or contemporary retelling of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is as complete and thrilling as this Dark Moon Books edition by USA Today bestselling-author Weston Ochse! Included in this comprehensive edition are:The original 1348 tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight in Middle English verseJessie L. Weston's 1898 poetic translation of the original Middle English versionAcclaimed author Weston Ochse's 2021 modernized narrative of the storySupporting preface by the authorAfterword by Unconventional Warfare Scholar, Jason S.
