Welsh Literature and the Classical Tradition

This volume provides an introduction to the links between Welsh literature and the Greek and Roman classics - from the interaction between the literatures of the classical and Welsh worlds as the Welsh language emerged, through the Middle Ages and Renaissance humanism, to the classical inheritance found in the works of Euros Bowen and others in the 20th century. The author does not assume an in-depth knowledge of the texts discussed and the quotations appear in both the original language and in translation.
