SGGK A Customer Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, trans. William Vantuono (Notre Dame: University of Notre Dame Press, 1999). xl + 320 pp. ISBN 0-268-01767-0. $17.00. Medieval manuscripts written in Middle English pose a problem to translators who must strive to keep translations true to their original meaning for scholarly audiences yet keep them simple enough for the casual reader to understand as well. Vantuono managed this balance quite well in his edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. With the original Middle English text on one page and the translated modern text on the facing page, Vantuono allows. Re-read from high school I loved reading this title the second time around. I read it first in high school and didn't like it - didn't quite understand it. I decided to pick it up again to see if I still didn't like it, this time around I ended up loving it. I even memorized some of the lines :). Hard to find! I have been looking for a side by side, dual-language version of this for so long! Readable, with good notes and annotations.
