Gawain Poet

The Gawain Poet, often referred to as the Pearl Poet, is an anonymous medieval English writer known for composing "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and three other poems, including "Pearl," "Cleanness," and "Patience." Active around the late 14th century, this poet is celebrated for their rich use of alliteration, intricate narrative style, and exploration of chivalric and moral themes. "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is particularly notable for its blend of adventure and symbolism, illustrating the ideals of knighthood and the complexities of honor, courage, and human imperfection.
