The Poems of Dafydd Ap Gwilym

Dafydd ap Gwilym as the finest medieval Welsh poet, producing over 150 innovative poems, encompassing themes of love and disappointment, sin and sanctity, comedy and despair, interacting with both the natural world and the transforming "modernity" of fourteenth-century Wales. In this book, Joseph P. Clancy, the foremost translator of Welsh literature into English, employs the most recent editions of Dafydd's full works and, for the first time, presents his poetry in an attempted sequence, allowing readers to see the development of the poet and his art. Above all, these new translations highlight Dafydd's remarkable 'literary self", his finest creations.
