This study, published in the "Grimm Library" will be warmly welcomed by all who know Miss Weston's translation of Eschenbach, nor will they be disappointed. Wide reading and deep insight are combined with no mean literary charm. The legends centering round the once all noble, latterly much disparaged hero are narrated and discussed in a manner at once scholarly and picturesque. They lose none of their beauty of romance in passing under the critical microscope which elicits from them their yet more romantic origin deep in the conception of the universe, fragmentary indeed, but with vivid graphic touches, in the primitive Keltic brain. Most of Miss Weston's results appear to us of the highest probability, least perhaps the connection of Gawain with a Solar Myth (an almost universal temptation) though this also is not unsupported by evidence. May we look for further studies in this enchanting field from the same pen?

Gawain: A Casebook is a collection of 12-15 classic and original essays on the hero of Arthurian legend that investigates the figure of Gawain as he appears in major medieval traditions, as well as modern literature and film. As with other volumes in the Arthurian Characters and Themes series, this casebook includes an extended introduction examining the character's evolution from the earliest tales to his most recent appearances in popular culture, as well as an extensive annotated bibliography. Students, scholars, and anyone interested in medieval legend will find a wealth of insight into the mystery of this most poignant and perplexing of Arthurian heroes.
The late 14th century produced a crop of brilliant writers: Chaucer, Langland and Gower. Their achievement was rivalled only by a series of four works generally agreed to have been written by a single northern author, known as the Gawain-Poet. This book introduces the reader to the Gawain-poet's four surviving works: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Patience, Pearl and Cleanness. The four poems are made accessible to the student by setting them in their relevant historical and cultural context and by developing some lines of critical argument. All studies are based on the author's own research and translations.
