Lecture on 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight'

Professor Fleming's Lecture on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight

Please listen to Fleming's 45-minute lecture. I've digitized it in 4 parts, so you can listen to it more easily:

The files are GGK1.rm through GGK4.rm.. .rm files can be played on virtually all players.

One player that can play .rm files and many other formats is the VLC Media Play , which can be downloaded for free here.

Written assignment:

Make careful notes when you do listen to the lecture, so we can discuss it in class.
Then take one point Fleming makes in his talk about some part of the text of SGGK. Write 350 words developing that point in relation to the text. Please do use short quotations from the text in your answer (none longer than 3 lines).

Email to your group and to me.
