Disambiguation Notice

The same anonymous 14th-century English poet is called either the "Pearl Poet" or the "Gawain Poet" after his two most famous poems, Pearl and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The name "Pearl Poet" has a slight edge because Pearl comes first in the manuscript that preserves this author's surviving works.
