POEMS FROM THE BK OF TALIESIN
The poems of Taliesin, some of which were used by Robert Graves for his book The White Goddess, are among the most fascinating works in the bardic tradition. John Gwenogvryn Evans (1852 - 1930) is best remembered for his facsimile editions and diplomatic texts of ancient Welsh literature. His facsimile edition of Llyfr Taliesin, the Book of Taliesin, was renowned for its accuracy, but in the edition and translation of these mysterious poems prsesented here he made many controversial emendations and translational decisions. Though his translations should be checked against modern scholarly standards, there is much to explore in this book . This is a Bardic Press Celtic Classic Edition.

A History of Arthurian Scholarship
A survey of critical attention devoted to Arthurian matters. This book offers the first comprehensive and analytical account of the development of Arthurian scholarship from the eighteenth century, or earlier, to the present day. The chapters, each written by an expert in the area under discussion, present scholarly trends and evaluate major contributions to the study of the numerous different strands which make up the Arthurian material: origins, Grail studies, editing and translation of Arthurian texts, medieval and modern literatures (in English and European languages), art and film. The result is an indispensable resource for students and a valuable guide for anyone with a serious interest in the Arthurian legend.
