Sir Perceval of Galles and Ywain and Gawain
Sir Perceval of Galles and Ywain and Gawain | Mary Flowers Braswell
1 post
This volume contains the only known English version of Chretien de Troyes's romance of the naive knight Perceval, Sir Perceval of Galles. The work uses Perceval's ridiculous behavior as a late medieval satire of courtliness. Accompanying this tale is Ywain and Gawain, a translation of a second Chretien poem, Le Chevalier au Lion. Unlike Sir Perceval, this poem extols the virtues of chivalry and honor. These complementary works form an excellent introduction to Middle English Arthurian romance, as they include editing, glosses, introductions, and a very helpful glossary for beginning students.

1. I read mostly short medieval texts, not books. I enjoyed Ywain and Gawain the most! (Sir Perceval of Galles, while in the same edition, is not on my reading list, so I skipped it!)
2. Pink. It‘s my pajama shirt, haha. I don‘t usually wear much pink if I‘m going out.
3. I decided to sign up for the #AllHallowsReadSwap! 🎃 On the veeery last day, too!
4. Nope and nope. I am utterly useless, haha.
