About This Item
An academically noteworthy edition of Warton's worn, because the editor, Richard Price, makes the first mention of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight then recently discovered in the Cotton Nero manuscript. IN addition, this edition contains a significant number of Arthurian Romances, also discussed by Price in his substantial Preface, his three Dissertations, and in his copious Notes. AS tantalizing as rthe mention of Gawain and the Green Knight is, Green was not able to manage publication of the entire poem before his death, and it was not published until 1839 by Madden.
