Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was first edited and published in 1839 by Madden, whose entire name in uncertain. He called the untitled poem Syr Gawayn and the Grene Knyyt. The poem did not receive much attention at all until the beginning of the twentieth century.
The plot splits naturally into four parts, not quite coincident with the fyts or stanza groups into which it is divided. First, the Green Knight lays down his New Yearâs challenge to Arthurâs court and Gawain accepts it. Second, a year later, Gawain goes to seek the Green Knight. Third, Gawain finds welcome refuge in a castle set in a wilderness, and accepts the hospitality of his host and hostâs wife, who test his chastity and loyalty.
