Description
The Mabinogion is a collection of eleven medieval Welsh tales that explore the intersection of mythology, romance, and history. These ancient stories feature shape-shifters, magicians, and quests, set against the backdrop of a country struggling to maintain its independence. A new translation brings these tales to life, recreating the storytelling world of medieval Wales and re-investing them with the power of performance. The Mabinogion is a rich and complex work, drawing on Celtic mythology and Arthurian romance to create a unique narrative world. The stories are full of magical creatures, mysterious events, and quests of honour, revenge, and love. This new translation provides a fresh and accessible introduction to these fascinating tales, making them available to readers for the first time in thirty years. For over 100 years, Oxford World's Classics has made available a broad spectrum of literature from around the globe. This edition of The Mabinogion is part of this tradition, offering a accurate text, expert introduction, and valuable notes to enhance the reader's understanding.
