The Gawain Poet, a contemporary of Chaucer, Gower, and Langland, was the author of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, "an alliterative poem written in 14th-century Middle English. Its author appears also to have written the poems Pearl, Patience, and Cleanness; some scholars suggest the author may also have composed Saint Erkenwald. Save for the last (found in BL-MS Harley 2250), all these works are known from a single surviving manuscript, the British Library holding 'Cotton MS' Nero A.x. MS Nero A X. This body of work includes some of the most highly-regarded poetry written in Middle English" (Wikipedia). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 65817
