Sir Gawain & The Green Knight; edited by J.R.R. Tolkien & E.V. Gordon, Clarendon Press/Oxford, 1936

A classic Oxford edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, edited by J. R. R. Tolkien and E. V. Gordon and published by the Clarendon Press in 1936. First issued in 1925, this authoritative scholarly text quickly became the standard edition of the Middle English poem, showcasing Tolkiens meticulous philological work long before the publication of The Lord of the Rings. This early reprint, produced at the University Press, retains the quality and academic presentation of the original issue and remains an important volume for collectors of Tolkien's scholarly writings and students of medieval literature alike.
