'Wel Bycommes Such Craft Upon Cristmasse': the Festive and the Hermeneutic in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Abstract

The Christmas setting of SGGK offers a context for examining the poem's relationship to the decorative and celebrative in late medieval art and for its analysis of the conflicts within the chivalric ideal; the presence of three mutually-exclusive verdicts on the poem's action is central to its portrayal of how the meaning of human action is constructed.
