I've read a lot of translations of the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" (I regularly teach it), and I thought that nobody could outdo the standard, quite wonderful version by Marie Borroff (also published by Norton). Well, I've just finished reading Simon Armitage's amazing translation, and I was wrong. Armitage's should be the new standard version used by students and lay readers everywhere. It captures both the energetic alliteration of the original and also its wonderful toggling between formal and colloquial registers. It does a magnificent job of approximating the galloping rhythm of the long verses, but is equally stunning at managing the "bob and wheel" that brings each long verse to comically neat closure (e.g., see Armitage's description of Gawain's emblem, the pentangle -- "[he] bore that badge on both / his shawl and shield alike. / A prince who talked the truth. A notable. A knight," ll.636-39). It takes some poetic chutzpah to fiddle with the Gawain-poet in this way. But Armitage has the versifying courage and the nervy tone just right. I think the 14th-century poet, whoever he was, would admire and appreciate this new version.That's also because Armitage shows humility as a translator too when it matters. For example, he works hard to preserve the delicate moral ambiguities of the original poem. It's difficult to translate Gawain's refusal to give the seductress, the lady of the manor (where his humility, his loyalty and his self-control are tested) a token of his affection with the perfect blend of courtesy and self-regard that is there in the original ("Hit is not your honour to haf at this tyme / A glove for a garysoun of Gawaynes giftes," ll. 1806-07), but Armitage's "it strikes me as unseemly that you should receive / nothing greater than a glove as a keepsake from Gawain" hits the mark pretty well; by placing Gawain's reference to himself in the third-person at the end of the line, he makes us wonder if the hero isn't buying in a bit too easily to the reputation that has preceded him.I'm not going to repeat the plot of the whole poem here; it's well known, easy to find online, and other amazon reviewers have gone over it. Armitage's confidence as a translator is expressed in his willingness to provide the original language of the poem on a facing page (Borroff's translation does not do this), so the reader can take a long look at the luscious original. Sure, he changes a word here or there (every translation does this), but Armitage is scrupulously true to the spirit of the original.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a medieval ;poem written in the fourteenth century by an unknown British poet. He wrote his poem in Middle English. The poem is brilliantly interpreted into modern English by Simon Armitage. It is a mirror into the world of chivalry in the time of the Middle Ages. The tale deals with a pilgrimage undertaken by Sir Gawain a knight in King Arthur's Court at Camelot. He is forced to receive the blow of the Green Knight who appeared one Christmas at Arthur'scourt and had his head lopped off by Gawain. Gawain most travel to the green chapel wherin resides the enigmatic Green Knight to receive condign punishment. The story takes us to medieval court, hunting field, boudoir and is a gem of a story.Excellent! Well worth reading!
Simon Armitage has given this new life with his accomplished translation. You can tell he spent a lot of time and passion into rendering the Middle English (in Cheshire dialect no less) into highly readable contemporary verse, with a few well-chosen ink-well words thrown in for good measure. Not encumbered with footnotes, but it does have some introductory and closing remarks by the translator. Readers should watch the accompanying excellent BBC documentary, hosted by Armitage as he visits local sites in Wales and western England, contemplating the meaning of the story, available on YouTube and other platforms. Cheers!
"This kyng lay at Camylot upon Krystmasse" or as Simon Armitage translates, "It was Christmas at Camelot - King Arthur's Court". Into the Christmas revelry at Camelot comes a mysterious Green Knight (almost completely green - skin, hair, armor and horse) with a challenge. He challenges any of the Knights of the Round Table to strike him a blow with a large ax he has and to be willing to receive a similar blow from him a year later. Gawain, Arthur's nephew eventually takes up the challenge and beheads the green knight. However, beheading doesn't keep a good Green Knight down as he picks up his now detached head and warns Gawain that he had better come to get his just desserts on the next New Year's day. We then follow Gawain as he sets out on a long and dangerous journey where his bravery, honesty and purity are challenged.The original author of the poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" is unknown but probably lived in the late 14th century. Although a contemporary of Chaucer, the use of language suggests he lived in the west Midlands or northwest of England. The poem is written in a primarily alliterative style of older Anglo Saxon poetry that was seeing a revival at the time but each stanza ends with five short rhyming lines.Armitage, in his translation, makes the decision to not only follow the stylistic approach of the original but also to reflect the more northern character of the original work's language. The original poem is printed on one page with the translation on the facing page, making it easy to compare one with the other. Even to one with little knowledge of Medieval English, this reviewer for example, much of the original is comprehensible. It is a delight to be able to turn over the page from Armitage's translation and, automatically reading on the left page, continue for a few seconds in the original. However, there are many sections where the meaning of the original is incomprehensible due to words that simply no longer exist in modern usage.In any translation but particularly in poetry, the translator is faced with remaining true to the original language while still imbuing the translation with the less tangible aspects of the writing that made it interesting or even exciting to its original audience. As Armitage says (p14): "Poetry is about manner as much as it is about matter" and his translation is highly successful in balancing manner and matter. His choice of keeping the basic style of the writing produces a work that is easy, interesting and fun to read. One can see from the parallel original that sometimes he veers significantly from the original text but usually to excellent effect and his attempt to retain the "northern " feel produces some fun lines. Here's a couple of example that show the alliteration and northern language:179 "Wel gay was this gome gered in grene" becomes "the fellow in green was in fine fettle"280 " berdles chylder" (beardless children) become " bum-fluffed bairns".Along with some of the recent work of Robert Fagles on Homer and Virgil, this is a modern translation that remains essentially true to the original but produces a poem that gives a feel for the vitality and impact that it would have had on its original audience.
