Medieval Welsh Poems An Anthology

"Loomis and Johnston have translated 111 poems into idiomatic English, while retaining the wonderful cadences of the Welsh. Sixteen leading poets of medieval Wales, including the acknowledged masters, Dafydd ap Gwilym and Guto'r Glyn, are finally available to English readers. Johnston brings his experience as pioneer editor and critic to this collaboration. Loomis's translations have been praised for their accuracy and their lyrical quality: His Dafydd ap Gwilym: The Poems (MRTS) has been widely acclaimed. The comprehensive introduction is supplemented by prefaces to each poet, generous commentary, a guide to Welsh pronunciation and maps. The volume is a delight to use."Loomis, Richard M. is the author of 'Medieval Welsh Poems An Anthology' with ISBN 9780866981026 and ISBN 0866981020.
