Item Open Access "The pearl poet" : an adaptation of "Sir Gowain and the Green Knight"(University of Oregon, 2001-06) Elliott, Lisa N.This adaptation of the 14th century poem, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, includes not only the action of the poem, but a month in the life of the poet and a modem reader experiencing the text for the first time. In each of these frames, the central characters go through processes of self-discovery that allow them to realize their own gayness and creative potential. The screenplay deals with how people in different time periods struggle with societal and personal expectations.
