What reading level is The Legend of Sir Gawain; Studies Upon Its Original Scope And Significance book?

2. ' Unknown were they yet to each other, tho' one fortal it shut them in, And never a man nor a maiden might speech of each other win.' Parzival, Book xiii. 320-23.
C 34 THE LEGEND OF SIR GAWAIN the castle must remain there for the rest of his life ; a pro- hibition which evidently belonged to an earlier form of the story, and the significance of which has become obscured, as Gawain pays no attention to it. To sum up \y Chretien's and Wolfram's Castle is on an island, inhabited by women, keepi...ng themselves apart from men, and own- ing as mistress a lady of surpassing beauty. To win this Island Castle involves permanent residence there.
Now it is well known that ancient mythology, both Celtic and Teutonic, represented the abode of the dead sometimes as an Island (such as the Isle of Avalon), sometimes as a Castle (such as the castle inhabited by Brynhild in the Thidrek-saga and Nibelungenlied'^). The lot of the dwellers in such an other-world was no unhappy one ; their surroundings were fair, even luxurious ; the one drawback was that they were unable to leave the place of their imprisonment.
