MEDIEVAL WELSH POEMS; TRANS. BY JOSEPH P. CLANCY

the long version

"This anthology of Welsh poems from c.575 to c.1525 offers the general reader the most substantial collection of medieval Welsh verse yet rendered into English, in translations that will support the claim that this poetry is one of the finest literary achievements of the Middle Ages." "Drawing on Professor Clancy's Medieval Welsh lyrics (1965) and The earliest Welsh poetry (1970) this comprehensive anthology presents over 150 poems that render poetry as poetry. A lucid introduction, ample notes and a glossary provide the background needed for a full appreciation of the poems."--BOOK JACKET.
