Synopsis

"Rather than eliminating possibilities for interpretation, my study draws attention to the open-endedness of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This conception of the poem's ending challenges accepted notions of medieval art, adhering more closely to contemporary theories of reading that value textual indeterminacy. Part Three turns to other fourteenth-century works where, I argue, textual open-endedness also characterizes the poetry." Author
