Reviews
An excellent collection of scholarly yet accessible articles, and a good place to start your reading on this subject. This volume covers the earliest Welsh poets - Taliesin and Aneirin - as well as the 9th century saga poems, the later Poets of the Princes, and the prose tales of the Mabinogion. (500 - 1282 AD)
An excellent survey of the material - with top-notch research by the best in their field. If people would read this book, we could dispense with all the New Age hodge-podge out there that only clouds the issue, rather than helps us piece together the origins and growth of this fascinating literary and cultural phenomenon. A must have!
The Welsh version of Arthur, as opposed to the later French contamination! This is an interesting collection of scholarly articles by various authors, and is well worth reading for anyone interested in the development of the Arthurian legends.
