Description

Gwerful Mechain's surviving works are gathered here, alongside poems of uncertain authorship and other pieces that shed light on the historical and literary context of medieval Wales. The collection includes original language texts alongside two translations of each poem, one literal and one in a freer style that approximates the original's rhyme patterns. This anthology offers a unique insight into the literary heritage of medieval Wales, with a range of poems and works that provide a nuanced understanding of the period. By presenting the original language texts alongside translations, the editors have made it possible for readers to engage with the poetry in its original form, while also gaining a deeper understanding of its meaning and context. With its comprehensive selection of medieval Welsh poetry, this anthology is an essential resource for anyone interested in the literature and culture of the region.
