Such distinctions are further troubled in David Lowery’s film adaptation, The Green Knight, which offers a contemporary and highly stylized vision of the themes in the medieval poem. This volume explores the myriad facets of the Gawain legend through a comparative analysis of the poem and the film. Authors examine these works’ themes, motifs, and narrative techniques, while shedding light on their historical and cultural resonances. Raising issues such as self-discovery, gender politics, the relationship to nature, and questions of morality and ethics, this volume of essays provides new perspectives on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight’s continuing relevance across the centuries.
