Ce que les critiques en disent

"The introduction to Gawain is a little masterpiece." ( Times Higher Educational Supplement)
"This magnificent Arthurian tale of love, sex, honour, social tact, personal integrity and folk-magic is one of the greatest and most approachable narrative poems in the language. Tolkien's version makes it come triumphantly alive, a moving and consoling elegy." ( Birmingham Post)

I didn't like the reader at all. It was interesting to see some influences on Tolkien's works from Gawain - the descriptions of the panoply, etc. And the alliterative poetry is good and shows amazing skill by him. I wouldn't have kept this except it was on a great sale. Will I listen to it again? I doubt it, the narrator is too annoying - he has that kind of British accent which people mock.

Interesting but....

I had a hard time listening to it in places with lots of noise, where I may be interrupted, or had to pause it a lot. I found I always had to be intently listening to understand the story.
But the bits I did get were very interesting! I also didn't expect tha it was going to be 3 (4? I don't remember..) seperate poems, not actually *by* Tolkien, but translated by him. Guess I could've done some research 🤷

it was pretty okay!
