Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Welsh Poetry Old and New, in English Verse Mr. Graves's translations cannot fail to give pleasure to those to whom his originals are familiar, but should be welcomed no less by the larger body of readers to whom Welsh poetry is accessible only by the road of translation. Wales boasts of her early poets, and claims for her later singers a share of the divine fire and a considerable proficiency in literary workmanship. The translator's work would be justified if he merely helped his readers to a fair judgment as to how far these claims are justified. Whether Mr. Graves has not achieved more and produced work that deserves to take its place in the fine company of English lyrics, I leave it to more competent critics to say. He has for the most part stuck closely to his originals, but it is not difficult, I think, to trace the hand of the poet, in spite of the shackles of the translator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Welsh Poems and Ballads In a collection of unedited odds and ends from Borrow's papers bearing upon Wales, and dating from various periods of his career, there is one insignificant-looking sheet on whose back some lines are pencilled, beginning "The mountain snow." They are reproduced in the text, but deserve notice here because of the evidence they bring of Borrow's long-continued Welsh obsession and his long practice as a Welsh translator. Apparently they date from the time when he was writing "Lavengro," since the other side of the leaf contains a draft in ink of the preface to that book. Other sheets of blue foolscap in the same bundle - folded small for the pocket - are devoted to unnumbered chapters of "Wild Wales." Yet another scrap, from a much earlier period, is so closely packed in a microscopic hand that it reminds one at a first glance of the painfully minute script of the Bronte sisters in their earliest attempts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Welsh Poets of to-Day and Yesterday In bringing out a second series of translations from the Welsh, I must very gratefully recognise the extremely kind reception accorded to my Welsh Lyrics of the XIXth Century, - a reception which encourages me to persevere in the plan I there outlined of publishing four or five small volumes, from which, eventually, I might compile a fairly adequate Anthology of our XIXth Century Poets, with biographical and critical notices. But to do this I require assistance, and I would ask such of my readers who are interested in the matter to write to me suggesting Poets and particular Poems which they think ought to be included. I am now preparing two new volumes for the press - one of translations from living Welsh poets - and I should be really grateful for any help of the kind I have just indicated.

Has heard mentioned, not only in the Principality, but in England also. Some of the Editor' s English friends - themselves being eminent in literature - have said to him, Wechave often heard that there is much of value in your literature and of beauty in your poetry. Why does not some one of your literati translate them into English, and furnish us with the means of judging for ourselves? We possess translated specimens of the literature, and especially the poetry of almost every other nation and people, and should feel greater interest in reading those of the aborigines of this country, with whom we have so much in common.

Download or read book Early Welsh Gnomic and Nature Poetry written by Nicolas Jacobs and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2012 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the most enigmatic and fascinating of early Welsh poems are the sequences of stanzas commonly categorized as gnomic. In their most typical form they juxtapose vivid natural description with generalisations about the physical world and about human life, combining an evident delight in weather and the changing seasons, landscapes and seascapes, and birds, beasts and plants with a serious and often witty concern for the moral and practical aspects of daily life. The origin and function of these stanzas remains a puzzle; some may be associated with particular situations in narratives now lost, but as a whole they appear to have developed at an early stage into a recognised genre of their own. They may be supposed to have a philosophical purpose, serving to assert a continuity between the natural and moral orders; on the other hand they may be read simply as a repository of folk-wisdom. While their interpretation remains a matter for discussion, their language is comparatively simple, and they thus provide an engaging window on the ordinary conceptual world of mediaeval Wales. This volume presents texts of the gnomic stanzas from the most important collection, that in Red Book of Hergest, and from some other manuscripts, with a few other poems containing related material, some of them edited in English for the first time, together with a literary and linguistic introduction, explanatory commentary and extensive glossary. Nicolas Jacobs is an Emeritus Fellow of Jesus College, Oxford.
