hardback

Gawain was once the most important knight at Arthur's court, a shining 
example of all that was best in chivalry at the time. However, as  the 
popularity  of  the Arthurian romances grew, the character  of  Gawain 
diminished,  leaving  him  represented  as a  villain  rather  than  a 
Champion  of the Goddess. How this transformation came about, and  the 
reasons why, are explored here by John Matthews.

GAWAIN:  KNIGHT  OF THE GODDESS is the result of more than  20  years' 
research into Arthurian and Celtic texts and it presents a unique view 
of  the mythology of Britain and its connections with  the  historical 
changes which took place of a period of many hundreds of years in  the 
religious and mystical traditions of the country.
