- "Gawain figures prominently
in many
- romances. In France he is
generally presented
- as one who has adventures
paralleling in
- diptych fashion but not
overshadowing the
- hero's, whether that hero
be Lancelot or
- Perceval. In the English
tradition, however, it
- is much more common for
Gawain to be the
- principal hero and the
exemplar of courtesy
- and chivalry, as he is in
Sir Gawain and the
- Green Knight and the other
Arthurian
- romances of the
Alliterative Revival."
