Locating Labor in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Abstract: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight strategically includes and excludes labor and laborers in a way that maps onto the two courts of Hautdesert and Camelot. Tracking the presence, absence, and treatments of this labor reveals the ways in which the poem uses labor to distinguish disparate courtly cultures. (MK-M)
