    Wenn man die Bauten mit der Artus-Legende liest und ich die letzte Male Lancelot, Guinevere, Mordred, Tristan und Isolde und Merlin präsentiert habe, so sehe ich jetzt hier Gawain vor mir stehen. Das rasch wachsende Nordbahnviertel hat diesen Viertel auf den ehemaligen Gleisen der Nordbahn recht rasch nachverdichtet und legt es auch darauf an, ordentlich in die Höhe zu wachsen.

  4. Petite pensée pour tous les agrégatifs - toutes disciplines confondues, mais je pense surtout à celles et ceux qui préparent l'agrégation d'anglais, pour qui je travaille activement ces jours-ci.
    Nous tâchons de vous préparer des outils intéressants et efficaces (et bientôt disponibles !) pour étudier comme il se doit Sir Gawain and the Green Knight et le film de David Lowery.
    Bon courage, et enjoy!

  11. I’m celebrating the traditional way — by finally fulfilling my year-long obligation to let the giant Green Man who lives in the chapel down the road take a swing at me with his axe.

  14. On New Year’s Eve, the last day of Sir Gawain’s stay at Bertilak’s castle, Lord Bertilak hunts an elusive fox named Reynard — a reference to a trickster character from a popular series of medieval beast tales.
    I assume Reynard is also the inspiration for the talking fox in the Green Knight movie, which isn’t named and which Bertilak captures and releases, so it can warn Gawain to run from his fate.

  17. My theory: the day was so holy and somber, the took it for granted that no one would be feasting, hunting, or playing games then, so he simply left it out of the poem and fast-forwarded to the start of Gawain and Bertilak’s exchange game. But who knows [shrug emoji].

  21. Today is December 27th, Saint John’s Day.
    On this day in history, Lord Bertilak looked across the table at Sir Gawain and said, “Enough of this Christmas feasting. Let’s get down to business: hunting and playing an exchange game while you await your certain death!”

  24. I like to celebrate Christmas Eve the traditional way — feasting on a dozen different types of fish at my friend Bertilak’s place.
    The wine flows freely, everyone looks beautiful (except one), and the holiday games are *crazy*.

  31. And last, by way of introduction ... here’s a link to an article I wrote a few years ago for a blog, which talks about one of the classes I like to teach: Tolkien’s Medieval English Sources. It’s about The Lord of the Rings, the Gawain-Poet, Shakespeare, these weird medieval creatures called “woodwoses,” and lots of other connections:

  33. Here’s a link to my book, The Gawain-Poet and the 14th-Century English Anticlerical Tradition, from Medieval Institute Publications. It’s about how medieval priests behaved very badly, and how a lot of people, including the author of the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, criticized and made fun of them:

  34. Hi, Mastodon folks – my name is Ethan.

    I live in Brooklyn, NY. I’m an English professor at The King’s College, where I teach all kinds of writing and literature, from Shakespeare to Russian novels to Southern lit. Most of my published writing is about medieval literature, namely from 14th-century England (Chaucer, the Gawain-Poet, John Wyclif, etc.). I also like to write fiction.
