By combining fantasy and realism, ""Sir Gawain and the Green Knight"" praises court life with an undercurrent of satire against a declining chivalric ideal. This edition focuses on the Middle English text, with a Modern English Verse translation on facing pages and extensive notes at the bottom of the pages. It discusses the manuscript, the anonymous poet and his other poems, and the structure of the poem and its audience, themes and characterization. With this translation, Vantuono aims to adhere as closely as possible to the original without sacrificing the poem's essential meaning and mood.

William Vantuono is an independent scholar who has retired from teaching. He is the author of The Pearl Poems: An Omnibus Edition, The Pearl Poem in Middle and Modern English, and Old and Middle English Texts with Accompanying Textual and Linguistic Apparatus.

"Vantuono's methodology is highly successful, for the pulsating beat and the exuberant spirit of Gawain are recreated in his translation." -Speculum
