A Guide to Welsh Literature Volume 2 c.1280 -c.1550 (ISBN 0708314392)
This is the second of a series of volumes outlining the history and development of Welsh literature from its beginnings in the sixth century to the present day. First published in 1979, under the editorship of Professor A. O. H. Jarman and Dr Gwilym Rees Hughes, this collection of essays by leading scholars still offers the most thorough and authoritative survey of the Welsh literature of the later Middle Ages. The importance of understanding the historical background of medieval Welsh literature is stressed in the opening chapter, and the final chapter emphasizes the links between later medieval Welsh prose and the broad intellectual movements of the age. The rest of the volume is concerned with poetry and the practice of the bardic craft. This was the period of the predominance of the cywydd metre, and separate chapters are devoted to seven of its most notable practitioners.

 | A Guide to Welsh Literature (c.1800-1900) - Volume 5 (ISBN 0-7083-1605-0)
This is the fifth in a series of volumes outlining the history and development of Welsh
literature from its beginnings in the sixth century to the present day. Nineteenth-century Welsh literature is long overdue for reassessment.. In its day, it suffered from exaggerated praise which sought to compensate for writers who had failed to make an impact on a neurotic culture. In the twentieth century, it suffered as much from a parroting of John Morris-Jones’s disdain for its linguistic infelicities and threadbare didacticism.
This book, much of which is based on recent research, shows clearly that there is much more to nineteenth-century Welsh literature than has been revealed by the dismissive view of it. By considering it within a liberating socio-cultural context, its significance is reappraised, thus continuing the recent reclamation of the literature of this period.
