Armitage successfully and exquisitely translates this classic poem, providing readers with a clear and complete version that honors the original. Recommended for readers of poetry and literature, particularly scholars of medieval English literature.
Multi-award-winning British poet Armitage is a superb storyteller in all forms, having written novels, scripts, and an opera libretto and translated classics like Sir Gawain and the Green Knight...
Armitage's version of the Alliterative Morte Arthure strengthens Norton's catalog of new translations of Anglo-Saxon and Middle English texts. It is also a remarkable instance of Armitage's own unique poetic strengths, especially his ear for lyrical economy and gift for sensual, tactile description.
