on the anonymous Gawain poet survives, but his dialect indicates that he hailed from the northwest Midlands--Lancashire or West Yorkshire--which provides [Simon] Armitage (a Huddersfield man) with a geographical link to the work. It will be interesting to see whether he chooses to tease this out in his translation.
