Depuis les premiers vers de la légende médiévale jusqu'à sa plus récente adaptation cinématographique par David Lowery en 2021, ce volume présente un panorama des perspectives de recherche contemporaines sur Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is one of the oldest tales in English literature. Haunted by the passage of time, this story takes us to the frontier between tradition and innovation, between a romanticized Arthurian chivalric past and its poetic reinterpretation in the English language.
Such distinctions are further troubled in David Lowery's film adaptation, The Green Knight, which offers a contemporary and highly stylized vision of the themes in the medieval poem. This volume explores the myriad facets of the Gawain legend through a comparative analysis of the poem and the film. Authors examine these works' themes, motifs, and narrative techniques, while shedding light on their historical and cultural resonances. Raising issues such as self-discovery, gender politics, the relationship to nature, and questions of morality and ethics, this volume of essays provides new perspectives on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight's continuing relevance across the centuries. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight est l'un des plus anciens récits de la littérature anglaise. Fortement hanté par le passage du temps, cette histoire nous entraîne à la frontière entre tradition et innovation, entre un passé chevaleresque arthurien fantasmé et sa réinterprétation poétique en langue anglaise.
