Sir Gawain and the Green Knight [SEP] "Gawain Poet"
Though the real name of "The "Gawain" Poet" (or poets) is unknown, some inferences about him can be drawn from an informed reading of his works. The manuscript of "Gawain" is known in academic circles as "Cotton Nero A.x.", following a naming system used by one of its owners, the sixteenth century Robert Bruce Cotton, a collector of Medieval English texts. Before the "Gawain" manuscript came into Cotton's possession, it was in the library of Henry Savile in Yorkshire. Little is known about its previous ownership, and until 1824, when the manuscript was introduced to the academic community in a second edition of Thomas Warton's "History" edited by Richard Price, it was almost entirely unknown.
