Libro Original o primera edición
Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. A post war reprint of the first edition, published in 1949. The book was originally published in 1925, and reprinted with corrections in 1930, 1936, 1946 and 1949 (this printing). With a preface by the editors and a 24pp introduction to the manuscript. With two monochrome illustrations including: 'The Lady of the Castle visits Sir Gawain (frontispiece). ***Very good in green cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt has dulled over the years but is still present. The boards are clean and unmarked. Head and tail of spine slightly creased, and edges very slightly rubbed. No creases, bumps or tears to the cloth. Corners sharp, with just a small crease to the top corner of the back board. Page block edges clean without any foxing. Internally also very good, with a neat ownership name to the top corner of the front free endpaper. There is also a small bookseller's label affixed to the bottom of the front pastedown: 'The American Book Supply Co. Ltd.' Some offsetting to the front and rear endpapers. The internal pages are very clean indeed, but there are quite a few pencil notes in the margins of some pages and underlining of some of the text in pencil (indicating that the book was once used for study). Spine tight with no reading lean. ***In a very good dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 8s. 6d. net. The dustwrapper is largely complete, with slight loss at the head and tail of the spine, and very slight loss at the corner tips of the foldovers. The dustwrapper is slightly marked, and lightly browned to the spine, but has no significant creases or tears. Please note that a previous owner, as part of their study, has written some page numbers in ink to the front flap of the dustwrapper. ***211 pages including a very extensive Glossary and an Index of Names at the back of the book. 195mm x 135mm. ***'"Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is a late 14th-century chivalric romance in Middle English. The author is unknown; the title was given centuries later. It is one of the best-known Arthurian stories, with its plot combining two types of folk motifs: the beheading game, and the exchange of winnings. Written in stanzas of alliterative verse, each of which ends in a rhyming bob and wheel; it draws on Welsh, Irish, and English stories, as well as the French chivalric tradition. It is an important example of a chivalric romance, which typically involves a hero who goes on a quest which tests his prowess. It remains popular in modern English renderings from J. R. R. Tolkien, Simon Armitage, and others, as well as through film and stage adaptations. The story describes how Sir Gawain, a knight of King Arthur's Round Table, accepts a challenge from a mysterious "Green Knight" who dares any knight to strike him with his axe if he will take a return blow in a year and a day. Gawain accepts and beheads him, at which point, the Green Knight stands, picks up his head, and reminds Gawain of the appointed time. In his struggles to keep his bargain, Gawain demonstrates chivalry and loyalty until his honour is called into question by a test involving the lord and the lady of the castle at which he is a guest. The poem survives in one manuscript, which also includes three religious narrative poems: Pearl, Cleanness, and Patience. All four are written in a North West Midlands dialect of Middle English, and are thought to have been written by the same author, dubbed the "Pearl Poet" or "Gawain Poet"'. (Wiki) ***A post-war reprint of this literary study of the late 14th-century chivalric romance - co-edited by J. R. R. Tolkien and E. V. Gordon.
