Gordon (1896 1938) was a Canadian philologist, known as an editor of medieval Germanic texts and a teacher of medieval Germanic languages at the University of Leeds and the University of Manchester. J. R. R. Tolkien recommended Gordon for a position at Leeds University and Gordon worked at Leeds from 1922 to 1931, introducing first Old Norse and later modern Icelandic to the curriculum. While at Leeds, he wrote 'An Introduction to Old Norse' and collaborated with Tolkien on their edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight . Gordon was promoted to a Professorship of English Language in 1926 following Tolkien's departure and oversaw the University Library's acquisition of the library of Bogi Thorarensen Melsted, establishing the library as one of the world's best Icelandic collections. For his services to Icelandic culture, Gordon was made a Knight of the Royal Icelandic Order of the Falcon in 1930. In 1931, Gordon was made Smith Professor of English Language and Germanic Philology at the University of Manchester where his research focused on Old and Middle English. In 1937 'The Battle of Maldon' was published, followed by his 1953 edition of 'Pearl'. ; Methuen's Old English Library; Vol. 7; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; x, 86 pages.…
