   Extractions: After the death of Dafydd ap Gruffudd (left), the place of the Welsh princes as patrons of the poets was filled by the native Welsh gentry, whose growing importance and influence had been recognized as early as 1176, by an event that is of great significance in the long Welsh poetic tradition. This was the calling together of the bards of Wales to compete for a chair the tradition of the national Eisteddfod: Still ongoing over 850 years later. At Christmas in that year the Lord Rhys ap Gruffudd held court in splendour at Cardigan, in the castle. And he set two kinds of contests there: one between bards and poets, another between harpists and crowders and pipers and various classes of music-craft. And he had two chairs set for the victors. Lord Rhys ruled supreme in much of Ceredigion (Southwest Wales), and it was he who richly endowed the Abbey at Strata Florida (left) in 1184. Henry II had made him a deputy in Wales as a counterpoise to the increasing power of the great Norman lords in Ireland. The 1176 Eisteddfod was one of the ways that he showed his importance and his independence. It was also of major importance to the continuance of the craft of the Welsh bards, a situation that was to change quickly. At the end of the 12th century, Giraldus Cambrensis had described the magic of Welsh poetry, with its special emphasis on alliteration. He could not have anticipated the full flowering of what we now term "the poetry of the gentry" that replaced that of the courts of the princes. Though the church, long supportive of the native literary culture, continued to patronize the Welsh bards, it was the native gentry (the uchelwyr), the land-owing classes who took upon the task of maintaining the Welsh bardic order, especially since poetry now dealt with secular themes.

   Extractions: Office Supplies Buy Posters A-Z Products Website Advertising ... Anglo-Welsh literature is a term used to describe works written in the English language by Welsh writers, especially if they either have subject matter relating to Wales or (as in the case of Anglo-Welsh poetry in particular) are influenced by the Welsh language in terms of patterns of usage or syntax. It has been recognised as a distinctive entity only since the 20th century . The need for a separate identity for this kind of writing arose because of the parallel development of modern Welsh literature , ie. literature in the Welsh language. Many distinguished literary figures, such as Saunders Lewis , have written in both languages. The best known Anglo-Welsh poet is Dylan Thomas , followed by Ronald Stuart Thomas . Poets such as Robert Graves can be regarded as Anglo-Welsh, insofar as they write about or in Wales, even though they may not have Welsh blood. Anglo-Welsh novelists include Richard Llewellyn and Jack Jones . Their usage of language marks them out from writers of "standard" English, as demonstrated in the following extracts: My father moved his head, and I looked down at him, sideways to me, and tried to think what I could do to ease him, only for him to have a breath.

    Extractions: Send it to a friend! The figure of Arthur first appeared in Welsh literature. The Gododdin is one of the earliest surviving poems written in Welsh. It was written by the bard Aneirin around the year 594, and contains the earliest known reference to Arthur. A series of elegies for the men of the Brythonic kingdom of the title, who died in an attempt to take the Catraeth area - now Catterick in North Yorkshire - from invading Saxon forces, the work takes on the heroic language typical of the time. The penultimate verse reads: He thrust beyond three hundred, most bold, he cut down the centre and far wing.

The Wikipedia defines it as:-"a term used to describe works written in the English language by Welsh writers, especially if they either have subject matter relating to Wales or (as in the case of Anglo-Welsh poetry in particular) are influenced by the Welsh language in terms of patterns of usage or syntax." I am broadly satisfied with that definition and prefer to avoid the sterile academic debates concerning the precise denotation of the term.

Introduction Welsh Literature , literature written in the Welsh language. For information on literature written in English on Welsh themes or by Welsh authors, see Anglo-Welsh Literature. II. The Earliest Poetry This is heroic poetry, taking as its subject matter the enmity between the Brythonic tribes of “the Old North” (as the area around the Solway and Clyde estuaries, and the eastern territory centred in present-day Edinburgh were called) and the invading Anglo-Saxons from the east. Eulogy and elegy were two sides of the same coin, and defeat was bitterly yet stoically recorded in classically controlled stanzas. Aneirin’s long poem, “Y Gododdin” (“The Gododdin”), is a series of elegies to the members of the small war-band from the Edinburgh region who died in the battle of Catraeth (usually identified as Catterick, in Yorkshire) around 600. Although surviving poetry during the next few centuries is sparse, it is probable that the tradition of praise poetry continued in Wales itself, as attested by such anonymous poems as that in praise of Cadwallon ap Cadfan, the King of Gwynedd (early 7th century), the elegy on the death of Cynddylan, King of Powys (c
