Petite pensée pour tous les agrégatifs - toutes disciplines confondues, mais je pense surtout à celles et ceux qui préparent l'agrégation d'anglais, pour qui je travaille activement ces jours-ci.
Nous tâchons de vous préparer des outils intéressants et efficaces (et bientôt disponibles !) pour étudier comme il se doit Sir Gawain and the Green Knight et le film de David Lowery.
Bon courage, et enjoy!

“He spelled the name out twice, and tapped his teeth. Gawaine. ‘I suppose,’ he said out loud, doubtfully, ‘they would have pronounced it Cuchullain in the North? You can’t tell with ancient languages.’” —T H White, The Once and Future King

While there certainly are similarities, I don’t think there are actually any direct connections between the two. But I’m not a scholar.

I’ve been enjoying The Once and Future King, but I could have done without Sir Gawain and the bad Scottish accent.

“A, myne uncle Kynge Arthur, my good brothir Sir Gareth ys slayne, and so ys my brothir Sir Gaherys, whych were two noble knyghtes.” [seyde Sir Gawayne]

Apparently while both his brothers are noble, he definitely loved Gareth best. There are three lines that emphasize how much this is so.

Getting into the end game, Lancelot has killed forty knights in two days.

Than first spake Sir Gawaine and seyde, “Sir Ector, have ye herde thes wordys?” ”Ye, truly,” seyde Sir Ector, “I herde all. Now go we,” seyde Sir Ector, ”unto som ermyte that woll telle us of oure avision, for hit semyth me we laboure all in waste.”

I like how any hermit will do for interpreting visions.

Of course you are wasting your time, if you aren’t Galahad, Launcelot, Percivale, or Bors you aren’t going to even get tested for the grail quest.

I am hugely proud of the post I just wrote about Yule traditions, mythology, and symbolism. If you love holly, berries, wassailing, and the old gods, I think you’ll enjoy it.
