Abstract:

This thesis presents a new framework for use in bibliographical and historical studies of individual texts. I interrogate Sir Gawain and the Green Knight genealogically, archaeologically, and architecturally to reveal a tangible network of texts that stretches across English— speaking society. This method opens up the poem to new analytical approaches by making it possible to locate diverse texts on a family tree, and understand their relationship to each other. A transcription, or a translation, for instance, becomes kin to a tarot card. Chapter One, the introduction to the thesis,

Abstract:

This essay discusses the aspects of Carnival in the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the opposition between ordinary official life and the Carnival. Peter Burke’s and Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories on the Carnival are used throughout the analyse of the poem mainly with focus on four different aspects; food, sex, violence and games. The essay also discusses the questioning of rank, which was central to the spirit of the Carnival where all were considered equal. Gawain is the protagonist who throughout the poem manages to resist the spirit of the Carnival despite being challenged by three d

Abstract:

Integrating chivalric romance narrative with complicated instances of pre-modern exchange, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight reveals the binding power of pledging one?s trawþe and the transformative power of exchanged objects in a gift economy. By reading the Exchange of Blows and the Exchange of Winnings according to the social demands of a gift economy and of a pledged trawþe, this thesis delineates the nature of Gawain?s failure to keep his word to his host. I offer my analysis of gift theory to suggest how the poem reveals the tensions between chivalric pledges of loyalty and nascent capit

Abstract:

Worn items are a crucial part of non-verbal social interaction that simultaneously exhibits communal, cultural, and political structures and individual preferences. This thesis examines the role of fictional costume and colour in constructing identities within two fourteenth-century Arthurian verse narratives: Froissart’s Middle French Meliador and the anonymous Middle English Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. To emphasise the imaginative value of material cultures and discuss the potential reception of fictional objects, the argument draws on illuminations from nine manuscripts of prose Arthur

Questa tesi si propone di analizzare e commentare uno dei più celebri romanzi cavallereschi del XIV secolo: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Appartenente al genere del fantastico-meraviglioso, il poema è contenuto in un manoscritto insieme ad altri tre poemi di carattere religioso, tutti scritti da autore sconosciuto che viene perciò chiamato Pearl-poet oppure Gawain-poet. Dopo una prima analisi del manoscritto nel suo insieme, il lavoro si concentra sul tentativo di attribuire uno specifico dialetto a Sir Gawain tra quelli più usati nell’Inghilterra del Medioevo, attraverso il confronto di al

Abstract:

This thesis investigates five fourteenth-century Middle English romances—Sir Isumbras, The King of Tars, The Earl of Toulouse, Geoffrey Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s Tale, and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight—for their resonances with fourteenth-century reformist ideology. The fourteenth century witnessed the emergence of Middle English complaint writing and also culminated in two reformist movements in the 1380s: the Peasants’ Revolt and Lollardy. Each romance considered in the thesis share resonances with reformist ideology and complaint poems—like William Langland’s Piers Plowman—as well as texts

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to conduct a close and careful study of the metre of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and thereby to describe the metrical principles that underlie the structure of the unrhymed long line, especially, that of the a-verse, and to demonstrate the stylistic possibilities that individual poets could exploit on the basis of these principles. In the introduction, I re-examine the three-stave half-line theory and point out the inconsistencies and unnecessary complexities that this theory entails, and argue for the regular two-stave verse and the potential disjunction betw

Abstract:

This study explores how three English romances of the late fourteenth century-Geoffrey Chaucer's Franklin's Tale, Thomas Chestre's Sir Launfal, and the anonymous Sir Gawain and the Green Knight-employ economic exchange as a tool to illustrate community ideals. Although gift-giving and commerce are common motifs in medieval romance, these three romances depict acts of generosity and exchange that demonstrate fundamental principles of proper behavior by uniting characters in the poems in spite of social divisions such as gender or social class.

Abstract:

An examination of the influence of medieval numerology and number theory upon the works of the Gawain poet, this essay seeks to connect the importance of numbers to the construction of the four poems. By examining such number theories as the Divine Proportion and marriage numbers, as well as Pythagorean number concepts of masculine and feminine numbers, a clear connection between the literature and the number can be found. The poet not only seeks to use numbers to impart important Christian doctrine to his readers in a subconscious way, he also demonstrates an extreme pre-planning of every lin

This diploma thesis aims to classify the uses of as in the text of the Middle English romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight from a formal and functional perspective. As has acquired a great number of functions through the process of grammaticalization. The theoretical part of the thesis firstly deals with the historical development of as from the Old English swā and ealswā. It then describes the uses of as in Middle English. In this period, as was found to function as an adverb, conjunction, preposition and a relative pronoun. Each of these uses can be further divided into a number of subtyp

Abstract:

At the end of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, when Bertilak de Hautdesert reveals Morgan le Fay’s involvement in Gawain’s quest, the Pearl Poet introduces a difficult problem for scholars and students of the text. Morgan appears out of nowhere, and it is difficult to understand the poet’s intentions for including her so late in his narrative. The premise for this thesis is that the loathly lady motif helps explain Morgan’s appearance and Gawain’s symbolic importance in the poem. Through a study of the loathly lady motif, I argue it is possible that the Pearl Poet was using certain aspects of

Chapter One examines the Wilton Diptych by associating it with the other religious icons during its time. It first looks into how Richard II, in the last phase of the medieval world’s reinforcement of kingly power, fashioned his kingly image by associating himself with a rich iconographic tradition in the pas

Gardens played a significant role in the lives of European peoples living in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.

By building our understanding of medieval horticulture through an examination of historical texts, we position ourselves to achieve a greater understanding into the formation of contemporary cultivated literary landscapes an

I argue that fairy disruption of human ways of thinking and being—everything from human corporeality to the definition of chivalry—is often productive or generative.

These places appear in narratives of the other world, a term which in Old and Middle English texts refers to the Christian afterlife: Hell, Purgatory, even Paradise can be fraught with wonder, danger, and the possibility of harm. But in addition to the other world, there are places that are not theologically separate from the human world, but that are neverthe
