Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cornell University Library Pb Hisui of the Literature of Wales Trom 3 1924 026 863 518 The History of the Literature of Wales has been justly regarded as falling naturally into four great divisions. The first partially shrouded by the veil of antiquity, and by myth; the second from that margin land of fable and accepted history to the middle of the Fourteenth Century; the third from that period to A.D. 1600, and the fourth from the beginning of the Seventeenth Century to our own times. Our task is devoted to the second and third distinctive epochs, and if it lack the scope for learned criticism which the first has had from the hands of the able philologists and historians who have preceded us, it will be found, we trust, in its elaboration, in the extent of enquiry and the richness of our gleanings, no less acceptable and interesting. In submitting this history in English, we do so with the earnest conviction that it will be more generally useful. Every educated Welshman is now conversant with English, but there are few educated Englishmen who are conversant with Welsh. Every Welshman, again, is thoroughly satisfied of the excellence of the literature of his own country; but the mass of Englishmen have to take the assertion on trust, its support being the reputation of the friendly critics who assert it, and a few desultory translations.
