This prose excerpt is a partial, original interpretive translation I did of the fourteenth-century poem ‘Sir Gawain and The Green Knight’ (Anon 1925 and 1967) as part of one of my university modules.

Please be aware that this piece references beheading: read at your own discretion.

The translation, accompanied by the original Middle English text, follows:
