    Extractions: Culture Geography History Life ... WorldVillage The term Welsh literature may be used to refer to any literature originating from Wales or by Welsh writers. However, it more often refers to literature written in the Welsh language . Literature by Welsh writers in the English language is usually called Anglo-Welsh literature or Welsh literature in English. This article will give an overview of the history of Welsh-language literature. For information about Welsh literature in English, see Anglo-Welsh literature . For more information about Welsh-language literature refer to the articles noted. After literature written in the classical languages , literature in the Welsh language is the oldest surviving literature in Europe. The Welsh literary tradition still lives, stretching from the sixth century to the twentieth first. Its fortunes have fluctuated over the centuries, in line with those of the Welsh language. Even today the language of the early Middle Ages is recognisable to modern-day Welsh speakers. Contents 1 The Middle Ages

69. The Mabinogion
    The people responsible for The Mabinogion are the Welsh who are descendants it does not seem to have been very well known, not even in welsh literature.  
    http://www.crosslink.net/~rhiannon/mabinogi.html
    
    Extractions: The following introduction is taken in part from "The Mabinogion" translated by Jeffrey Gantz. T he tales of the Mabinogion are not the product of a single hand. They evolved over a span of centuries: passed on from storyteller to storyteller, they were distorted, improved, and misunderstood. The people responsible for The Mabinogion are the Welsh who are descendants of the Celts. Its contents draw upon the myths, folklore, history and pseudo-history of Celtic Britain: four well-springs that are often indistinguishable. Set largely within the British Isles, the tales create a dreamlike atmosphere and preserve much of the primitive, fantastic, fascinating world of Celtic myth. They exemplify the heroic, romantic, idealistic world of Celtic literature. By Mediterranean standards the Celts were tall and powerfully built with fair skin, blue eyes and blond hair. In temperament they were reckless, impulsive, generous to guests, fond of feasting, drinking and entertainment, jewelry and bright vivid colours. The Celtic bards, like other storytellers, possessed a large repertoire. They accomplished this feat by not memorizing every word of a tale, this would have been a monumental task, but only the outline so they could embellish and fill in the details as the story was told. The Mabinogion's lack of influence may be attributed to the fact that it does not seem to have been very well known, not even in Welsh literature. It lay so dormant that it wasn't translated into English until 1849 when Lady Charlotte Guest's version appeared. The tales comprise an ensemble of parts. The text identifies the first four "Pwyll", "Branwen", "Manawydan", and "Math" as the Four Branches of the Mabinogi. It was Lady Charlotte who supplied the title Mabinogion. Previously, the tales were simply identified as part of this or that manuscript. Each of the Four Branches ends with the term 'So ends this Branch of the Mabinogi.' The Welsh word 'mab' means boy. Lady Charlotte concluded that 'mabinogi' was a noun meaning 'a story for children' and that the word 'mabinogion' was its plural. Mabinogi is a genuine Welsh word, but in these texts it applies only to the Four Branches in which it appears.

Home Membership Events Information Centre ... The Herefordshire Pomona Apples in Welsh Literature Bromyard Highlights of 2001 Newsletters Joan Morgan outlines possible references to young fruit trees known as 'imps' in the Laws of Hywel Dda. These were composed in about 930 (although written down much later), and contain references to both 'sweet' and 'sour' apples. The 'sour' apples could easily be native crabs, but the reference to 'sweet' apples, and the monetary value placed on these 'imps', strongly suggests the cultivation of seedlings from choice fruit, and quite possibly the propagation of graft wood from such trees. There are references to apples and the attractiveness of apple blossom to be found in early Welsh poetry. The most substantial and beautiful of these is undoubtedly the Afallennau (Merlin's Apple Trees), included in the 'Black Book of Carmarthen' - a place name which means, literally, Merlin's Tower. This was transcribed in about 1250, but events mentioned in the text are much earlier (possibly from as far back as the late C6th), and it is generally considered to be a collection of much earlier oral works.

Lack of space has made it impossible to include examples of the original Welsh versions of pieces throughout, but I have included two examples in parallel text in the work of Graham Davies and Menna Elfyn. The two major living translators of Welsh literature into English are Tony Conran and Joseph P. Clancy. Both are fine poets in their own right. Conran's monumental Welsh Verse gathers material from 1400 years of poetry, translated with huge energy and skill. Clancy, an English professor born in New York who has retired to West Wales, has translated a large range of work, including a collected volume of Kate Roberts's short stories, The World of Kate Roberts. Also very useful for recent poetry is the special Welsh number of Poetry in Translation, edited and in part translated by Dafydd Johnston, and presented in parallel text.
