Her book is a delightful and unusual small anthology of medieval literature; but its greatest success lies in providing a context for a fuller understanding of \u003ci\u003eSir Gawain\u003c\/i\u003e, through its presentation of extracts and poems (including translation from Celtic and French originals) illustrating the tradition in which the \u003ci\u003eGawain\u003c\/i\u003e-poet wrote, underscoring his own great achievement. It is both anintroduction to the poem and a useful tool for critical comparison.
