S3E9 Today, Ash is joined by special guest Michael Smith to talk about the alliterative Morte Arthur, a long poem composed in the 14th century. Michael is completing a new tranlsation of the poem, and so we’re very lucky to have him share some insights into the Alliterative’s Arthur’s provenance, it’s original readership, the joy of alliterative verse and its connections to other medieval Arthurian works such as Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Join us tomorrow for an extended chat about Michael’s work and in the meantime visit his website to pre-order a copy of his new translation:
