Solution :

The correct option is: A volume named from the wild men of the woods of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.

Ted Hughes’ Wodwo (published in 1967) is a collection of poetry, prose, and a play. The title character and concept are derived from the Middle English word "wodwo" (or "wudwas"), which refers to wild men of the woods or forest-dwelling trolls/monsters.
This term appears in the fourteenth-century alliterative romance poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, where the narrator describes Gawain encountering various forest monsters and wild men ("wodwos") during his journey through the wilderness of Wirral.
