Fascinating stuff. I actually picked this up for Sir Gawain and the Green Knight but ended up enjoying Pearl and Sir Orfeo more, probably because both Pearl and Sir Orfeo are significantly shorter than Gawain and more readable– especially Sir Orfeo. All three are interesting tales and a remarkable view into the past.
Sir Gawain felt like those old Arthurian stories I've always been told about, Pearl was a beautiful allegory and Sir Orfeo was an interesting take on the story of Orpheus. Worth a read!
