Title: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: A New Verse Translation Author: Anonymous Narrator: Bill Wallis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 30 minutes Release date: November 6, 2007 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 3 of Total 4 Genres: Poetry Publisher's Summary: The famous Middle English poem by an anonymous English poet is beautifully translated by fellow poet Simon Armitage in this edition. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight narrates in crystalline verse the strange tale of a green knight who rudely interrupts the Round Table festivities one Yuletide, casting a pall of unease over the company and challenging one of their number to a wager. The virtuous Gawain accepts and decapitates the intruder with his own ax. Gushing blood, the knight reclaims his head, orders Gawain to seek him out a year hence, and departs. Next Yuletide Gawain dutifully sets forth. His quest for the Green Knight involves a winter journey, a seduction scene in a dream-like castle, a dire challenge answered, and a drama of enigmatic reward disguised as psychic undoing.
