The Mabinogion consists of the earliest prose literature in Great
Britain, the manuscripts of which originate in 12th century Welsh,
with some dating earlier, to the oral tradition of the Middle Ages.
Many of the stories in the Mabinogion would become famous anew
thanks to the efforts of the translator. Rendered in modern
English, the narratives of an era long departed reflect the time -
events such as war, the idea of chivalric romance, and the
prevalence of sorcery and mystical goings on are common devices in
the stories. Much of what is here was passed onto other, later
authors - the notion of the Medieval era as one laden with strange
beasts, magic, and valiant combat originates with tales like those
in the Mabinogion. This edition of the ancient stories was
translated by Lady Charlotte Guest, an English aristocrat who was
most famous for this work. Accomplished with languages from a young
age, she gathered from obscure archives the manuscripts, arranged
and presented them in modern English.
