Rediscovered only 200 years ago, and published for the first time in 1839, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of the earliest great stories of English literature. It narrates in crystalline verse the strange tale of a green knight on a green horse, who challenges the virtuous Gawain to a wager, resulting in a fantastical quest.
