Review Quotes:
'This is another very welcome volume in the MHRA Library of Medieval Welsh Literature ... Nerys Ann Jones deserves our thanks for turning a large and disparate body of material into this attractive, coherent, and easily navigable book. I expect to be using it well into the future.'
Barry J. Lewis, Cambrian Medieval Celtic Studies, 83 (2022), 89-92
'If you are looking for a well-written, meticulous examination of a range of early medieval Welsh texts concerning Arthur in their manuscript and linguistic context, then Arthur in Early Welsh Poetry should be on your shelf.'
Daniel Helbert, Speculum, 96.1, 2021, 232-33
'I am sure that this book will be much used and appreciated by lecturers and also by scholars studying the pieces of poetry contained in it, and quite likely also by advanced students of medieval Welsh. There are still too few editions that do fine-grained analyses of early texts, particularly of early poetry, and this book represents one of the successful efforts towards filling this gap.'
Stefan Schumacher, Journal of Celtic Linguistics, 22, 2021, 172
