Selected, annotated and translated by Kenneth Hurlstone Jackson, this book crosses the barrier of language with remarkable ease and elegance, managing to convey the astonishing power of imagination under which the Celtic literary tradition flourished for so many years. Including works from Welsh, Irish and Scottish Gaelic, Cornish, Breton, and Manx, this work offers poetry and prose from the eighth to the nineteenth century, and provides a unique insight into the minds and literature of the Celtic people.
