CofieldThis translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by Bernard O'Donoghue is part of Penguin's Legends From the Ancient North series. While the poem itself dates from around 1400 and is thus "younger" than the poems and stories which make up the rest of the series, its setting is the same mysterious world of the so-called Dark Ages around the 4th to 7th centuries. Sir Gawain has attracted numerous translators over the years, notably includng J.R.R. Tolkien, but O'Donoghue's version is valuable because its language is, perhaps, more accessible to the non-specialist reader. The similarities to Tolkien will be immediately apparent as a great warrior confronts a monster, amongst other adventures, in poetry which echoes some of the finest verse to be found in The Lord of the Rings.Besides the poem itself this edition contains an extensive Introduction and Notes. I found Sir Gawain to be an enjoyable read, and I can well imagine the excitement and joy with which its first medieval listeners received it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.Excellent translation for the first time reader or someone who never understood the text their first time!By Stuart DunnLegends from the Ancient North is a series of five books from Norse literature that are said to have inspired J.R.R. Tolkien. The five titles are Beowulf; The Elder Edda; The Saga of the Volsungs; Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; and The Wanderer. Today, I will be reviewing Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. I chose this title of the five to review first, because I read this in college and I didn't particularly agree with the slant my professor put on the translation. Therefore, I wanted to read it again and give it a shot again. This edition begins with an introduction by the translator Bernard O'Donoghue. In it he gives background on how the text was accidentally discovered and preserved, other texts that were found with it, and the difficult job of maintaining the beauty of a text when you translate it. He then goes on to explain the character of Sir Gawain, the plot of the poem, and the genre of medieval romance literature.The translation is very accessible and thus a straightforward read. In fact, I'd say it reads a bit more like prose than poetry. The purist will not appreciate that, because in it you lose some of the beauty and alliteration of the original. However, I appreciated it as it is the perfect introduction to a difficult text. At the end of the text are pages of notes explaining difficult passages and an appendix with some of the original text to whet the reader's appetite. It was clear from reading this work why it inspired Tolkien, and knowing that Tolkien translated this work makes me want to read his translation now. If you are a fan of Tolkien, than I believe you need to read this work and the other four books in the Legends from the Ancient North series, because I am a firm believer that if you want to understand an author, you should read what he or she read.See all 2 customer reviews...
