Description

The classic medieval tale that brings romance, chivalry and adventure to the modern reader, and inspired the powerful 2021 movie, Green Knight. A mighty warrior interrupts King Arthur's banquet to challenge the astonished revellers to a binding act of combat. Out of sheer bravado Gawain leaps to the fray and his actions lead to a series of strange and incredible adventures. The perfect companion to Beowulf, Gawain is a treasure of medieval literature, brought to life in the 2021 movie Green Knight starring Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander and Joel Edgerton. An Arthurian legend of note it revels in its Celtic origins, playing with the mysteries of chivalric romance, the warrior hero and the deeper truths of eternal life. AUTHOR: Jake Jackson has written, edited and contributed to over 20 books on mythology and folklore. Related works include studies of Babylonian creation myths, the philosophy of time and William Blake's use of mythology in his visionary literature. 10 b/w line drawings
