A collection of three medieval English poems, translated by Tolkien for the modern reader, containing romance, tragedy, love, sex, and honour. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems written around 1400, with Sir Gawain being a romance and moral tale, and Pearl an elegy on the death of a child. Sir Orfeo is a romance from an earlier tradition. The translations preserve the original rhyme and alliterative schemes.
