Format:Paperback
Great piece of literature about our earliest celtic poetry . Well done Thomas Clancy. For anyone looking for an introduction to Celtic poetry or for any student doing Celtic studies this book is essential reading. It is not only poetry it is also an historical and social insight into the life of early peoples of the Celtic countries and how they used their poems and songs to recount the deed of their heroes, triumphs and disasters

A Northern Perspective
31 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
This is an excellent collection of early and medieval poetry from the north of Britain, competently translated into modern English from five languages (Latin, Welsh, Gaelic, Old English and Norse). As such it brings together from a Northern perspective a great variety of poems usually segregated into their own linguistic pigeonholes. Each selection has its own brief historical headnote. A useful collection for the student, and a rewarding box of surprises for the casual browser.
