[Gabe · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's astonishing how novel and exciting this story still feels seven hundred years later. The structure and the detail are really striking, if a little eccentric to modern tastes. The facing-page translation is the way to go, you get both the original language and the meaning. Plus this edition includes two other Gawain stories which are rarely anthologized.

Read this for class- but it was interesting and well-written (and translated)!
