Waiting on this via inter-library loan. I want the chapter/article The Real

King Arthur by David Johnson.

Blanch, Robert J., ed. Sir Gawain and Pearl: Critical Essays. 2nd ed. Bloomington:
Indiana University Press, 1967.
This source is split into two sections. The first contains critical essays
about the poem Pearl. It is the second section, dealing with Sir
Gawain and the Green Knight that I think will be most useful to my
paper.

The chapter on chivalry in this book will prove to be helpful. It focuses on
historical chivalry, but it refers to the Arthurian tales to provide its basis.

Putter, Ad. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the French Arthurian Romance. New
York: Oxford University Press, 1995.
Waiting on this source via inter-library loan. Putter provides an analytical
comparison between Gawain in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and the
Chrtien de Troyes romances. As such, I think this analysis will be a very
useful source for my paper.
