"This volume brings together four works of the unknown fourteenth-century poet famous
for the Arthurian romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, in their original Middle
English. In one of the great tales of medieval literature, Gawain, the noblest knight
of King Arthur's court, must keep a deadly bargain with a monstrous knight and resist
the advances of his host's beautiful wife. The dream vision of Pearl depicts a bereaved
father whose lost child leads him to glimpse heaven. And in moral poems based on stories
from the Bible, Cleanness warns against sins of the flesh and of desecration, while
Patience encourages readers to endure suffering as God's will."--Page 4 of cover
