How approachable is the Waldron edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight from the perspective of someone who has zero prior experience with verse or classical languages? I was gifted a copy from my mom before I got around to looking into translations myself, but from having looked at the first page I'm struggling to make connections from the raw text to the footnote explaining things. There is a glossary where I noticed that you can make some connections to modern words when read aloud (such as from sesed to ceased), but I don't know if this is the kind of thing that will be palatable if I just brute force it, looking up every word I come across.
