Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - In a Modern English Version with a Critical Introduction by John Gardner
The adventures and challenges of Sir Gawain, King Arthur's nephew and a knight at the Round Table, including his duel with the mysterious Green Knight, are among the oldest and best known of Arthurian stories. Besides the tale of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, this title includes an introduction to the works of the Gawain poet.
"Professor Gardner's is, I believe, the best translation of these works" (Speculum)"
