They are best known as the "Four Branches of the Mabinogi," and comprise the tales of Pwyll, Branwen, Manawydan, and Math. The remaining stories also spring from the same tree, and together they form a collection that comprises the core of the ancient Welsh mythological cycle. They are also among the best the medieval Celtic literature has to offer.
In the first thoroughly revised edition and translation of this world classic since Lady Charlotte Guest's famous Mabinogion went out of print, Mr. Ford has endeavored to present a scholarly document in readable, modern English. Basing his criteria on the latest scholarship in myth, he includes only those stories that have remained unadulterated by the influence of the French Arthurian romances. These are, in addition to the "Four Branches," the tale of "Kulhwch and Olwen," which is rooted in the mythological origins of Arthur, seen here in his role of divine hunter in pursuit of the swine-god; "Lludd and Lleuelis," which reaches beyond its immediate Celtic sources into ancient Indo-European ideologies; and the long unavailable "Tale of Taliesin," which offers insights into Celtic concepts of the archetypal poet-seer and the acquisition of Divine Wisdom.]]> 295814 3.99 86 13 1436 3.78 71904 7516 1977 620695 0926689053 9780926689053 2 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/620695.The_Celtic_Poets_Songs_and_Tales_from_Early_Ireland_and_Wales 3.67 6 295814 3.99 86 13 1999 3263727 0520032055 9780520032057 1 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3263727.The_Mabinogi_and_Oher_Medieval_Welsh_Tales 5.00 2 1436 3.78 71904 7516 295814 3.99 86 13 1977 1556219 092668907X 9780926689077 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1556219.Manawydan_Uab_Llyr_Text_from_the_Diplomatic_Edition_of_the_White_Book_of_Rhydderch_J_Gwenogvryn_Evans 0.0 0 295814 3.99 86 13 2000 1556218 0520026012 9780520026018 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1556218.Poetry_of_Llywarch_Hen 0.0 0 295814 3.99 86 13 1974 3688251 0874610524 9780874610529 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3688251.Celtic_Folklore_and_Christianity_Studies_in_Memory_of_William_W_Heist 0.0 0 295814 3.99 86 13 1983 792589 1851828494 9781851828494 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178406245m/792589.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178406245s/792589.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/792589.Heroic_Poets_and_Poetic_Heroes_in_Celtic_Tradition_A_Festschrift_for_Patrick_K_Ford_Csana_Yearbook_3_4 0.0 0 295814 3.99 86 13 2005 4379056 0708311652 9780708311653 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4379056.The_Irish_Literary_Tradition 0.0 0 724188 0.0 0 0 295814 3.99 86 13 1992 1556216 0926689037 9780926689039 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1556216.The_Irish_Literary_Tradition 0.0 0 724188 0.0 0 0 295814 3.99 86 13 1992
