Summary

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics. Dating from around 1400, composed by an anonymous writer, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was first translated and published almost 200 years ago. Its epic nature has not been dimmed by time: the story of a knight on a green steed challenging Sir Gawain to an epic challenge. What follows is a strange tale full of decapitations, seduction and magic. The Green Knight, an upcoming 2021 film starring Dev Patel and Alicia Vikander, is based on this narrative, one of the earliest great stories of English literature.
