Recenzii

“Francis Ingledew, in ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight’ and the Order of the Garter, proposes a radical, and in many ways plausible, new reading of the poem, which relates it much more closely to the foundation of the Order of the Garter. . . . [Ingledew argues] that the poem fits . . . into the heyday of Edward III, perhaps dating from the 1350s, when Edward was regarded as a model of chivalry by English and Continental historians. . . . [Ingledew positions] the poem . . . [as] a contemporary response to, and critique of, chivalry and sexual morality at Edward’s court. . . . Whether they are totally or partially convinced by its arguments, medieval literary scholars and historians will need to take account of this book.” —Times Literary Supplement

“While a number of studies have explored the importance of the inscription to a reading of the poem—including even whether it was the work of the poem’s original scribe—Francis Ingledew’s ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight’ and the Order of the Garter is by far the most meticulously researched and the most ambitious.” —Speculum

“What Ingledew does very successfully is to connect the story of Sir Gawain and its vision of history with contemporary historiography and chronicle accounts of Edward and his affair with the Countess of Salisbury. . . . Ingledew’s exploration of the connections between the story of the founding of the Order of the Garter and the plot of Sir Gawain is also rewarding.” —Modern Philology

“[After] the indignities to which Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is sometimes subjected, Francis Ingledew’s close attention to its relationship with medieval chronicle (notably those of Froissart and Jean le Bel) and the conflicting accounts of Edward III’s alleged crime make for a very compelling and fascinating argument. There is much of value here.” —Medium Aevum

“Francis Ingledew’s thesis in ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight’ and the Order of the Garter is not only that the Garter motto is authorial, but that SGGK itself is a cloaked rebuke of sexual wrongdoing in Edward’s court in the 1340s. . . . [A] provocative and important book; it cannot be ignored.” —Arthuriana
