Language: English Table of ContentsIntroduction Map The Four Branches of The Mabinogi In Context from The Welsh Laws (13th & 16th centuries) from Triads of the Island of Britain (14th century) from Gerald of Wales Description of Wales (1194)ReviewsA lively and often whimsical rendering of a medieval Welsh quartet of tales that are of supreme importance to our understanding of Celtic storytelling tradition.... It will lead a new generation of readers into the profound, often baffling world of 'Mabinogic' mystery, myth, and magic. -- Joseph Falaky Nagy, Henry L. Shattuck Professor of Irish Studies at Harvard University This is a fine, fun new translation--brisk, colloquial and dramatic, it captures much of the immediacy and color of the original.... The style is very succinct and colorful, much akin to folktales, where the characters enjoy some sort of essential or representative significance, even as they also emerge as individual personalities.... The laws, triads and other contextual materials translated in the appendices are very valuable and relevant for the interpretation of these texts; their inclusion is much appreciated. I also like the fact that The Four Branches of the Mabinogi are given their own separate volume, rather than being tumbled in with the other Middle Welsh prose texts. --Craig R.
