Note: "This long poem focuses on the end of the Arthurian story, beginning the afternoon before Mordred entraps the queen and Lancelot and ending with Lancelot riding away from the abbey where Guenevere is determined to stay. Gawain is a major character here; his relationship with Lancelot, Guenevere, and Arthur is depicted as crucial to the unfolding of events." —Ann F. Howey and Stephen R. Reimer, A Bibliography of Modern Arthuriana, 1500–2000
