Critics Review
-
‘The introduction to Gawain is a little masterpiece.’
Times Higher Educational Supplement‘This magnificent Arthurian tale of love, sex, honour, social tact, personal integrity and folk-magic is one of the greatest and most approachable narrative poems in the language. Tolkien’s version makes it come triumphantly alive, a moving and consoling elegy.’
