Sinopsis

''The Heroic Elegies and Other Pieces of Llywarc Hen, Prince of the Cumbrian Britons'' is a collection of ancient Welsh poetry translated into English by William Owen Pughe in 1792. The poems are attributed to Llywarc Hen, a sixth-century Welsh prince and bard, and were likely composed in the early Middle Ages. The collection includes elegies mourning the loss of fellow warriors, odes to nature and the seasons, and praise for the bravery and honor of Welsh heroes. The poems are notable for their vivid imagery, complex allusions to Welsh mythology and history, and their insight into the values and culture of medieval Wales. This book is a valuable resource for scholars of Welsh literature and history, as well as anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of the British Isles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
