Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values.</p><p>Pearl is apparently an elegy on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great personal loss: but, like Gawain it is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters.</p><p>Sir Orfeo is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkiens.</p><p>The three translations represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the originals.</p><p>The collection of these epic poems, steeped in the rich history of Britain, offers a glimpse into the English, Welsh, and Scottish cultures during the period of 1066-1485. The tales, a blend of fantasy and reality, are a testament to the conquests and the Norman influence that shaped the European landscape.</p><p>For fans of Christopher A. Snyder (Making of Middle-earth), Tom Shippey (The Road to Middle-Earth), Alan Sisto (Why We Love Middle-earth), John Garth (The Worlds of J.R.R.
