Long and interesting (and entertaining) article by Simon Armitage himself about Gawain in the Guardian here.

Now he mentions the place in Derbyshire I have another expedition to go on - I think I know where he means. Some very interesting stuff about the language and how some is retained today in modern dialect too; it maybe explains why I don't have a lot of trouble reading this kind of thing in the 'original'.
