Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

Bookseller Notes

Signed by the author on the title-page. The first published version of Armitage's renowned translation (which he later revised): 'The poem is also a ghost story, a thriller, a romance, an adventure story and a morality tale. For want of a better word, it is also a myth, and like all great myths of the past its meanings seem to have adapted and evolved, proving itself eerily relevant 600 years later.' (Armitage, The Guardian, 2006)
