Choosing a Version: Roger Lancelyn Green

Tales of knights, lords, and ladies have held a prominent position in the western imagination since they were first told. As we survey some of those tales, we'll address the following questions:

1. How does Sir Gawain and the Green Knight highlight the importance of personal promises?
2. Why is the will of God notably prominent in Medieval epic tales?
3. What role does honor play in the still-popular tale Robin Hood?
