{"product_id":"9780859913591","title":"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight","description":"This anthology of medieval writing provides a context for a deeper understanding of the Gawain-poet's originality and skill.The intertextuality of this brilliant poem can be more fully understood through Elisabeth Brewer's presentation of modern English versions of themes familiar from Gawain and the Green Knight -beheading, seduction and othertraditional material - from a range of medieval writings. Her book is a delightful and unusual small anthology of medieval literature; but its greatest success lies in providing a context for a fuller understanding of Sir Gawain, through its presentation of extracts and poems (including translation from Celtic and French originals) illustrating the tradition in which the Gawain-poet wrote, underscoring his own great achievement. It is both anintroduction to the poem and a useful tool for critical comparison. First published in 1975 as From Cuchulainn to Gawain.ELISABETH BREWERlectured in English at Homerton College, Cambridge.","brand":"Elisabeth Brewer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45922543632702,"sku":"9780859913591","price":730.84,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780859913591_746e4b38-536a-4b3d-85b1-425f4d5e2a81.jpg?v=1707344630","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780859913591","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
