Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Pearl, and Sir Orfeo is a collection of Tolkien’s translations of these medieval poems—a collection I’ve been meaning to get around to for some time.

Having read and enjoyed some other translation works of Tolkien’s (eg. The Fall of Author; The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun; Kullervo), I knew what to expect with this and wasn’t disappointed.

For me, all three works are certainly worth the time. Pearl often gets voted least liked out of the three. Which is a shame, because, though different in style to the others, it’s still poignant. The show stealer, however, in my opinion, would be the inclusion of Tolkien’s lecture on Sir Gawain—I relished every word of his insight.
