For close to nine hundred years, Gawain has been a favorite hero in Arthurian myth, especially when it comes to his appearance in the late fourteenth-century chivalric romance, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. While scholarship on the poem continues to expand in many fascinating ways, David Lowery’s 2021 adaptation, The Green Knight, has changed the way scholars can approach and teach the medieval poem. The editors of this book proposal seek essays that explore some of the compelling changes Lowery makes to the base text of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and what we can learn about the importance—or dangers—of retelling popular stories in new and inventive ways.
Current contributors for this project include medievalists, but we are also interested in hearing from individuals who specialize in film studies and popular culture. Please send a 250-word proposal to Dr. Melissa Crofton and Dr. Drew Maxwell to TheGreenKnightCasebook@gmail.com by April 30, 2025.
