Poems From the Book of Taliesin
J Gwenogvryn Evans
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.
