My conclusion examines the Middle English romance most popular with modern scholars: the masterful Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Long noted for its acute understanding and subversion of literary convention, this romance displays a thorough understanding of the integral role that identifiably English landscapes play in constructing and defining the genre. Intriguingly, such awareness manifests especially in passages that relate topographical features “echoing” the sounds of human hunters, their canine companions, and the activities of more ambiguous characters (such as the Green Knight himself). SGGK thus anchors its fantastical narrative within recognizably English environments while calling attention to how human perception and communication produce such literary landscapes. Examining this romance alongside The Greene Knight (c.1500), a popularized ballad-romance of the same narrative, reaffirms that English and Border landscapes remained integral to the “voice” and character of late medieval and early modern verse romance.
