The focus of this bibliography is the native literary tradition
expressed in Irish and Welsh verse and prose from the earliest time
to circa 1450. Priority is given to the most recent critical works
and editions, provided that they supersede previous ones; however,
earlier scholarly work and critical editions of texts that are now
regarded as classics are also included. Because of the highly
selective nature of this bibliography, Rachel Bromwich includes
only a few studies on early legal texts, historical background,
ecclesiastical learning, hagiography, archaeology and art, and
folklore. The bibliography is divided into five chapters, of which
two are intended for newcomers to the field and list the more
available works of reference and aids to language study. The
remaining three are devoted to literary history and criticism,
texts and translations, and background material. The more than 500
entries have been arranged to show the ways in which the medieval
literature of Ireland and Wales pursue parallel courses. In each
chapter a general and comparative section is followed by
sub-sections dealing with Irish material (including Cornish and
Breton). Within each of these sub-sections individual items dealing
with similar or closely related topics have been grouped together.
Since this work is intended primarily for students working in
English, the majority of the listings are in English, but important
works in Irish, Welsh, French, and German are also cited.
